How to recover an administrator account in Windows 11/10 [Solution]

Although the Administrator account is disabled by default because it is not required and can pose a security risk, advanced users and network administrators may sometimes need this account to troubleshoot problems and manage system settings.

The built-in local account is similar to any other administrator account, but it comes without User Account Control (UAC) enabled which runs everything elevated (with administrator permissions).

I have come across many users who lost their administrator rights on their Windows 11/10/8/7 PCs and thus were unable to manipulate their system or make changes to it. One common thing I found regarding this issue is that users who lost their administrator rights only have one account on their system, which of course was the administrator account. Due to loss of administrator rights, you may experience problems using Windows applications, creating or changing Windows configuration settings in Control Panel, using software components plug-ins and several other problems on your system.

This tutorial will apply to computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running Windows 10 and Windows 11 (Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education) operating systems from all supported hardware manufacturers, such as Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Alienware, Razer, MSI, Huawei, Microsoft Surface and Samsung.
