With a Microsoft account, you can access your apps, files, and Microsoft services across your devices. If needed, the local user account can have administrator permissions; however, it’s better to just create a local user account whenever possible. Caution: A user with an administrator account can access anything on the system, and any malware they encounter can use the administrator permissions to potentially infect or damage any files on the system.

Only grant that level of access when absolutely necessary and to people you trust. As you create an account, remember that choosing a password and keeping it safe are essential steps. In some versions of Windows you’ll see Other users.

Select I don’t have this person’s sign-in information , and on the next page, select Add a user without a Microsoft account. Enter a user name, password, or password hint—or choose security questions—and then select Next.

Open Settings and create another account. Note: If you choose an account that shows an email address or doesn’t say “Local account”, then you’re giving administrator permissions to a Microsoft account, not a local account. Under Account type , select Administrator , and then select OK. If you’re using Windows 10, version and later, you can add security questions as you’ll see in step 4 under Create a local user account. With answers to your security questions, you can reset your Windows 10 local account password.

I need some serious help. I set myself up a the administrator when I downloaded windows 10 but it has my account listed as a local account. Also I believe something happened after an update because I was able to download or install anything I wanted until a few weeks ago.

There is NO right click option p[er your instruciton!!! Hello, I have a question, please: I had to send in my hp spectre win 10 to hp support and have it fixed. Before I send it, there was only my personal admin account activated password protected.

But when the device came back it had a second admin account activated not passwort protected. From what I read here, I believe this was the built-in admin account. My question is: How can this be? How was Hp support able to activate that built-in admin account without having the login data of my personal admin account. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks you in advance. All of you may be are not aware of that the access is denied for enabling admin rights and you guys are keep posting it till make the thread reach to the moon.

I did all the steps but when I sign out of my account, there is no admin account to sign into. It only allows me to sign into my account. Is there a way to just make my account the admin? I think I have an account access issue. I can see all my users privleges clicking properties on C drive, they all have the same rights.

Its been about 8 hrs and no luck. My issue was related to administrator, and I believe the Windows Live account. The PC came with Windows 10 and was only a month old, and had issues after receiving a Windows update. The Microsoft tech was out of options, I told him to help me create a new administrator, as the windows I had available to me would not let me do that. I then restarted and logged in with this new Administrator account and all was solved!! Hope this helps someone. Need help here!

Thank you so much for the steps. It worked for me. Also, where the guy gave very basic steps for the C: drive and right click, properties, and then to delete account, that worked too.

It actually removed the built-in account for me. I went into msconfig to try to solve a reboot problem in Win 10 x I changed the settings to disable non-Microsoft services at boot. Now my wireless and LAN devices will not work which prevents Windows 10 from allowing me to log in. When I try to run bcdedit.

I have an installation disk to use to get to a command prompt, but it does not provide administrator privileges to review the settings in BCDEdit. I tried above thing , but it says system error 5 has occurred , access is denied. What else can I do in this case? I dont know what to do.

I can get through the directions until the end when I attempt to set a password. When I type a password the password does not appear. The cursor keeps flashing and does not move. How do I get this to accept the password I am typing? Note in the properties information-It says the password was last set in which is probably when the computer was built with Windows 7. I installed 10 last year.

It says the password never expires and password required yes. Password is invisible as you type it. Same for confirm, it is invisible. So you may have set it already with what you typed in. Not sure how you check it has been accepted. Hope that helps. What kind of an idiot wrote this column without trying this out? OMG thank goodness. It sure did help me. I was not able to login to my work email through Citrix. After running those commends above I was able to access my emails again.

Then you can change account settings. Craig, you type cmd. The only one who knows Admin. Password is Built-in Admin.

I need some help here my administrator account is protected by password and ofcourse i dont know the password , what should i do to get the password or how can i change the password.. I am locked out of UAC.

All I see are those blue and yellow shields. I keep getting that damn prompt asking for Administrator name and password. If I wanted to create a password reset disk, that damn prompt would appear again, in which case I have no answer to it, nothing works. I have Malwarebytes and it needs to upgrade a new version, but when I click on yes, that UAC prompt comes up again asking for Administrator name and password, so I have to click NO.

If I wanted to do a system file check scan, the prompt would again appear. Now, I am completely blocked from accessing Malwarebytes, as there is a yellow and blue shield attached to the icon on the desk top. You are forcing me to switch to a MAC. I am happy and thrilled to report that my problem has been resolved without costing a dime. Because I happen to read a comment from someone on another tech site whose suggestion I tried with complete success.

Are you serious? I love it when people who know nothing about what they are doing hose their system, Then I get to make money cleaning up their mess.

I have been doing it for over thirty years. It is people like you that keep me employed. Once I was able to make him understand, I got the information I needed to help with his problem and he bought me a steak dinner because he was so embarrassed about misunderstanding what I was saying and because I was patient even thought he was getting heated.
