Enable Windows 7 Hidden Administrator

Sometimes you need it, though I can't exactly remember right now what I needed it for... HowToGeek advised that unless you need it for troubleshooting, you really shouldn't touch it. The Easiest way to enable the hidden (or super) administrator is to use command prompt.


1) Right-click on and "Run as Administrator"

2) type:

net user administrator /active:yes

If you want to set a password for the administrator (replace password with something):

Net user administrator password

To disable the hidden administrator from showing:

net user administrator /active:no
