The Hidden Administrator Account in Windows 10

During Windows 10 installation, a hidden administrator account has been set up. The hidden account is a super administrator which is good to use to troubleshoot and customize Windows. It is because the User Account Control (UAC) message would not be prompted while running special programs.

It's easy to enable/disable the hidden administrator account:

>> Run "Command Prompt" as administrator

To enable the hidden account : at the command prompt, type net user administrator /active:yes and press the Enter key. It will appear on the Windows 10 login screen

To disable the hidden account : at the command prompt, type net user administrator /active:no and press the Enter key.
