How Do I Enable the Hidden Administrator Account in Windows 11?

Published in Windows 2 mins read

You cannot directly enable the hidden administrator account in Windows 11. This account is built-in and always exists, but it's not accessible by default. Instead, you can use the existing administrator account or create a new administrator account.

Here are the steps for creating a new administrator account:

  1. Open Settings: Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app.
  2. Go to Accounts: Click on Accounts in the left sidebar.
  3. Select Family & other users: Choose Family & other users from the options on the right.
  4. Click Add account: Select Add account to start the process.
  5. Choose I don't have this person's sign-in information: Click this option to create a new local account.
  6. Select Add a user without a Microsoft account: Choose this option to create an account that doesn't require a Microsoft email.
  7. Enter a username and password: Provide a username and password for the new account.
  8. Select Administrator: Choose Administrator as the account type.

Once you create the new administrator account, you can use it to manage your computer's settings and applications.
