Vista's Secret Administrator Account

I've been using Windows Vista ever since it was released and I've just found out about the secret Administrator account that Microsoft forgot to tell us about! it's different from the normal administrator account you have set up on your PC and for the sake of this report we will call it the Super-Administrator account.

This Administrator account is not part of the Administrator group. It's a kind of super-administrator, and by default it's turned off and hidden. In Vista, the Super-Administrator account is not subject to UAC (User Account Control), but the normal administrator account is. So the Super-Administrator can make any changes to the system and you will see no UAC prompts.

Turning on the Super-Administrator account is straightforward. First, open an elevated command prompt by typing cmd into the Search box on the Start menu, right-clicking the command prompt icon that appears at the top of the Start menu, then selecting Run as administrator.

Then enter this command and press Enter:

Net user administrator /active:yes

From now on, the Super-Administrator account will appear as an option on the Welcome screen, along with any user accounts you may have set up. Use it like any other account. Be aware that it won't have a password yet, so it's a good idea to set a password for it now.

If you want to disable the account and hide it, enter this command at an elevated command prompt and press Enter:

Net user administrator /active:no
