Windows 10 > Add the hidden Admin. Account
Greetings, If your main (only) Win 10 Account ever gets corrupted, (I’ve seen it happen in rare instances) it’s always a good idea to have previously enabled the hidden Administrator account, because, from the admin account you can create an other personal account if the main account is unfixable. Here’s how: from: https://www.ghacks.net/2014/11/12/how-to-enable-the-hidden-windows-10-admini... (With some slight modifications for clarity) 1.. Hold Down Windows Key and Type R”" 2.. Type lusrmgr.msc and select the result that is returned to you. 3.. Left-click on "Users" to open it, in the left sidebar. You get a list of all accounts of the local system on the right. 4.. Right-click on Administrator and select Properties from the context menu. 5.. Remove the checkmark from "Account is disabled" on the Administrator Properties window and click apply, then ok. I also suggest checking the box that says “ Password never expires” Steve Karl 412-441-4349 The Pittsburgh PC Help Desk
