How to enable hidden Windows 10 administrator account
When you reinstall Windows 10 on a PC or run it for the first time if it came preinstalled with the computer, you create the first user account during this process.
This is the main account on the system and configured by default to be an administrator account, but it is not the only one created during this process.
Windows 10 automatically creates two additional user accounts that are both inactive by default.
The first is a guest account designed by Microsoft for users who access the device but do not have a permanent account.
Guest accounts are severely limited because it is not possible to install software or hardware, or change system settings.
The second is the administrator account. It is also inactive by default and must be enabled before it can be used. Although not required at all, it is often used for troubleshooting or administrative purposes when enabled.
