Windows 10: How do I activate administrator account with a disabled system administrator?

I am currently locked out of my admin account with no additional user account to gain access. I have typed in multiple times my admin password, which is correct however my system tells me that my system administrator is disabled. I will need to see my system administrator for further assistance. Which I cannot do because I do not have a user account to gain access and I am not using a GUI and my screen is stuck on the powershell access only. Please help!!!

i disable my administrator account

Here is the correct way to do such things:

• Create a spare admin account, same as you ask the locksmith to cut a spare house key.
• Test the spare account, same as you would test the spare house key.
• Promote your account to admin level.
• Test your account.
• Disable the Administrator account.

By taking Step 5 as the first step, you painted yourself into a corner. You must now ask a friend to create a bootable Windows Repair flash disk, using the command RecoveryDrive.exe. Use it to boot your machine into Windows Repair Mode, then use System Restore
to set Windows back to a point then the Administrator account was active.

 

When attempt to access the WindowsApps folder with either administrator account, the system says I need administrator rights and denies access

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to enable built in administrator by following the steps below, create a new user profile and check if the issue persist.

• 
  Open a CMD window by right clicking on the Start icon, and selecting
  Command prompt (Admin).
  

• 
  Type the following command: net user administrator /active: yes
  
• 
  Login into the built in administrator user profile and create a new user profile with administrator privileges.
  
• 
  Delete the corrupted user account from the built in administrator.
  
• 
  Then lock your screen by pressing Windows key + L, and sign-in as the Administrator account.
  

Check if the issue persist and you can disable built in administrator account by typing the command: net user administrator /active: no
in the Command prompt (Admin).

To create a new user account follow the steps below:

• 
  On the Search bar type cmd and
  press ctrl + shift + Enter on the keyboard to open the Elevated
  Command Prompt.
  
• 
  Type net user NewAccount password /add and click Enter.
  
• 
  Type net localgroup Administrators NewAccount /add and click Enter.
  
• 
  Log off from the system and login to the new user account.
  

Hope this helps!

 

Lost Administrator account

Hello,

The easiest way to resolve this issue is by enabling the built-in administrator account by following the steps below:

• Press Windows + X, Select Run.
• Type net user administrator /active:yes
• Close the elevated command prompt.
• The built-in Administrator will now be available to select to sign into.
• Restart the system and create a
  new user account.

Once you create the new administrator user account you can disable the Built-in Administrator Account by:

• Press Windows + X, Select Run.
• Type net user administrator /active:no
• Close the elevated command prompt.
• Restart the system.

Let us know how it goes.
