You cannot directly enable the administrator account from a guest account in Windows 10. Guest accounts have limited privileges and cannot access system settings or modify user accounts.
To enable the administrator account, you need to log in with an administrator account or use a different method, such as:
- Using a local administrator account: If you have a local administrator account on the computer, log in with that account and follow the steps to enable the built-in administrator account.
- Using a recovery drive: If you have a recovery drive, you can boot your computer from it and access the command prompt. From there, you can use the net user command to enable the administrator account.
- Using a bootable USB drive: You can create a bootable USB drive with a Linux distribution and access the command prompt to enable the administrator account.
Here are the steps to enable the administrator account using a local administrator account:
- Log in to your computer with a local administrator account.
- Open Command Prompt as administrator.
- Type:
net user administrator /active:yes
and press Enter. - Enter the administrator password when prompted.
- Close Command Prompt and restart your computer.
Note: Enabling the built-in administrator account can be a security risk, as it gives full access to your computer. Consider using a strong password and limiting the use of the administrator account to only when necessary.
