  3. How do I make myself the administrator on MY computer?

    During an update, you added a sign in page to enter my computer (that I did not want and had decided not to add to my computer), and along with the sign in page, there is now an administrator, and I am not apparently the administrator, that stops me from
    doing things on my computer that I want or need to do.............and I am the owner and only user on this computer. I now find out I need the administrator's password to complete this function myself which I obviously do not have since I did not add the
    sign in page, or make these changes, Microsoft did in one of their updates. How do I get rid of what you have done or make myself the administrator and have my own administrator's password to my computer?

    I am trying to be nice about this, but this is not the first time Microsoft has taken command, so to speak, of my computer against my wishes. I have put up with this situation for a while, and I am really sick of it and pretty angry as well. I have windows
    8.1.

  4. How do I make myself the administrator

    Can't make changes as myself, or Administrator

    Hi Christine,

    Additional information will help us to identify the cause of this issue. Kindly answer the following questions:

    • How many computers are involved to this issue?
    • What is the exact error message that you have encountered?
    • What is the build number and version of your Windows?
    • The 4 user accounts on your PC, did you set all of it as an administrator?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you enable the hidden administrator account in Windows 10 by following these steps using one of your user account:

    • Click on Start.
    • Type cmd, and right-click on it.
    • Select Run as administrator.
    • Type this command line, and then press Enter:

      net user administrator /active:yes
    • You should see a message that the command completed successfully. Log out, and you’ll now see the Administrator account as a choice.


      Note: There's no password for the hidden administrator account.

    After enabling the hidden administrator account, change the account type of your user accounts to gain administrative privileges:

    • Press Windows key + I to open Settings.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Click on Family & other people.
    • Under Other people, select one of the user account, and then select
      Change account type.
    • Under Account type, select Administrator
      from the drop down menu.
    • Click on OK to complete.

    After performing the steps above, we will need to disable the hidden administrator because we are using hidden administrator just for troubleshooting. Kindly follow these steps:

    • Click on Start.
    • Type cmd, and right-click on it.
    • Select Run as administrator.
    • Type this command line, and then press Enter:

      net user administrator /active:no
    • The administrator account will now be disabled, and shouldn’t show up on the login screen anymore.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
