'Hidden Administrator' account asking for password.

We would like to clarify how did you enable the Hidden Administrator account. We suggest using the
Local Security Policy to enable to hidden administrator in Windows 10. Kindly follow these steps:

• Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
• Type secpol.msc, and click on OK.
• In the left pane, click on the Local Policies folder to expand it, and click on the
  Security Options folder.
• In the right pane of Security Options, double click on
  Accounts: Administrator account status.
• Select Enabled, and click on OK.

Let us know whenever you need further assistance.

 

Enable Default Administrator on Windows

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to enable settings to gain full access of the PC.



You can achieve this by enabling the default administrator on your PC. However, we cannot link it with another user account. Default administrator has permissions to access all the settings and features without any UAC prompts.
Please follow the steps to enable the default administrator on the PC.

1. Open Start Menu and type
   CMD.
   
2. Now right click on it and click on
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Type the following command to enable hidden administrator:
   net user administrator /active:yes
   
4. Restart the PC and then try logging in to the
   Administrator account.
   

Note: The default administrator account is usually used to troubleshoot issues, it is recommended to create an administrator account instead of using the default administrator
account.
