Activate Administrator Account in Vista

In windows Vista there is an account named Administrator that you can use to make any changes to your computer that you want, without UAC bothering you. Unfortunately, this account is disabled by default and the older OS tricks to access the Administrator account will not work in vista. So to be able to activate the Administrator account and actually log into it, what you are going to need to do is....

  • Start the computer and hit F8 until you see the boot menu options screen.
  • Now select Safe Mode with Networking.
  • Log into your normal account (that has administrator rights) and run the CMD.exe program.
  • At the command prompt type net user administrator /active
  • Finally Log out or restart your computer (so you are not is safe mode) and now you should be able to log in as Administrator.

    To turn off administrator simply follow the exact same steps except this time at the command prompt type net user administrator /active:no
