Enable / Disable the Local (Hidden) Administrator Account in Windows 7

Ways to Enable / Disable the Built-In Windows 7 Admin Account

Many people familiar with prior versions of Windows are curious what happened to the Local Administrator account that was always created by default. Does this account still exist, and how can you access it?

Recently I ran into an awkward situation where after disjoining a Windows 7 client machine from the domain, I was unable to log in to the computer. This was not because I had forgotten the local administrator password, but because the local administrator account was disabled (which is the default behavior in Windows 7). Like in Windows Vista, in Windows 7 the built-in Administrator’s account is disabled by default. Furthermore, this account is not associated with any password. After doing some research, I found the following procedure that worked really well.

Enable Built-in Administrator Account

Basically there are 4 ways in order to activate the account:

A) Command Prompt

To enable the built-in Administrator’s account by using the Command Prompt please follow these steps:

1. First you’ll need to open a command prompt in administrator mode by right-clicking and choosing “Run as administrator” (or use the Ctrl+Shift+Enter shortcut from the search box)
Run Command Prompt as Administrator

2. After that you only need to enter the simple command below to activate it.

net user administrator /active:yes
enable hidden administrator account

3. You should see a message that the command completed successfully. Log out, and you’ll now see the Administrator account as a choice.
built-in windows 7 administrator account

You’ll note that there’s no password for this account, so if you want to leave it enabled you should change the password.

B) Local Security Policy

Another way of activating the administrator account in Windows 7 is via Local Security Policy.

1. Type secpol.msc in the search bar and hit enter.
secpol

2. After the Local Security Policy pops up, navigate to Local Policies-> Security Options where you can see an entry that reads Accounts: Administrator account. Double click the entry to enable it.

administrator account status

C) Using the Local Users and Groups Snap-in

To enable the built-in Administrator’s account by using the Local Users and Groups snap-in please follow these steps:

1. Open Local Users and Groups. You can do so by typing lusrmgr.msc in the Start search box or in the Run command and pressing ENTER. Or, you could open Computer Management by right-clicking Computer in the Start menu and selecting Manage.

2. Expand System Tools > Local Users and Groups > Users.

3. Right-click the Administrator account and select “Set Password”.

4. In the”Set Password for Administrator” click “Proceed”.

5. In the”Set Password for Administrator” enter the Administrator’s desired password twice, and click “Ok”.

6. Next, enable the Administrator’s account. Right-click the Administrator’s account and select “Properties”.

7. Un-chek the “Account is disabled” check-box. Click on the “Ok” button.

Administrator’s account is now enabled and configured with a password.

D) During the Installation Process

There is a 3rd method which advanced users can use. This method can be used during the installation process itself.

1. During the installation, after being prompted to configure the new user account, you will be able to set the new account’s password.

2. At that phase, press SHIFT and F10 keys together. A Command Prompt window will appear.

3. In the Command Prompt window, type:

net user

Note how the Administrator account is there, yet the new user account has not been yet created.

4. To set the Administrator’s account password:

net user *

5. Then enter the required password and confirm it.

6. To enable the Administrator’s accoun:

net user administrator /active:yes

7. Close the Command Prompt window and continue with the installation process.

If you log off you will now see the Administrator’s account as a valid logon option.

Disable Built-in Administrator Account

Make sure you are logged on as your regular user account, and then open an administrator mode command prompt as above. Type the following command:

net user administrator /active:no
disable local admin account

The administrator account will now be disabled, and shouldn’t show up on the login screen anymore.

Disable Windows 7 Password Expiration Notification

Do not have to worry about Windows 7 Password Expiration Notification

I found it annoying when Windows 7 one day told me that my User password was about to expire. If you are like me I would rather be the one in control of when I change my password rather than Windows dictating this.

What is Windows 7 Password Expiration?

If a user uses the same password for a long period of time, the possibility of the password being discovered and used by an attacker increases. In a domain, Group Policy is commonly used to force users to change their password on a regular basis.

Group Policy allows you to configure a setting one time and have it apply to all users or computers equally. The Default Domain Policy is created when the domain is created, and it includes several settings for the Password Policy.

When the default policy is used, users are required to change their password every 42 days. Users are given reminders to change their password when it is close to expiring. If the user ignores the warning until the last day, the user will be notified that the password has expired and must be changed.

The user won’t be allowed to log on until the password has been changed. Luckily, the solution is simple. The user needs to change their password.

Here is a quick easy way to disable Windows 7 Password Expiration.

In Windows 7 Professional , Ultimate, and Enterprise:

1. Open the “Local Users and Groups” administration panel. Do this the easy way; Start ¨C> then enter “lusrmgr.msc” into the start menu search box. (or the Run box on XP)

2. Double click to select your user
select user
3. Check the box next to “Password never expires”

4. Click OK, and your done.

Note: It doesn’t work on Windows 7 Home Premium. When lusrmgr.msc is loaded on that version the following message appears in the Management Console.

¡°This computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium. This snapin may not be used with this version of Windows. To manage user accounts for this computer, use the User Accounts tool in the Control Panel.¡±

So, if you are using Windows 7 Home Premium, Please read the following content.

In Windows 7 Home Premium:

1. Run Command Prompt as Administrator (Rt-click cmd program to Run as Administrator)

2. Type the following, then press enter net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited
password never expiration in windows 7 home premium
3. Logoff and restart the PC, Your done.

Alternate Option ¨C Available for all Windows 7 editions:

1. Run Command Prompt as Administrator (Rt-click cmd program to Run as Administrator)
2. Type the following, then press enter wmic path Win32_UserAccount WHERE Name=’username’ set PasswordExpiries=false
alternate option
3. NOTE: Replace username in the command with the actual user account name.
4. Close the cmd prompt window, Your done.

Jan 132011

Is you computer safe enough? Does your Windows 7 ask for a logon password when you start your PC? It should. If not, a logon password must be created as soon as possible. This article will tell you how to make a user login password on Win7. It is easy and usually takes less than a few minutes

It is a big security concern if you do not have a Windows 7 logon password. Without a password, anyone in your office or home has full and unrestricted access to everything on your PC. Fortunately, creating a new Windows 7 login password is very simple.

Note: If you’re trying to create a new Windows 7 user password because you’ve forgotten yours and can’t get in to Win7, see how to recover a forgotten Windows 7 Password.

Follow the steps below to create a password for your Windows 7 logon account:

Here’s How:

1. Click on ‘Start‘ and then ‘Control Panel‘.
start control panel windows7

2. Click on the ‘User Accounts and Family Safety’ link.

Note: If you’re viewing the Large icons or Small icons view of Control Panel, you won’t see this link. Simply click on the User Accounts icon and proceed to Step 4. In my computer, my win7 user name is Andy. So I click its icon.

3. Click ‘change your windows password’ on the ‘User Accounts’ area.

4. In the ‘Make changes to your user account‘ area of the User Accounts window, click the ‘Create a password for your account’ link.

5. In the first two asterisk text boxes, enter the password you want to start using. Entering the password twice helps to make sure that you typed your new logon password correctly.

In this example I use my birthday as my logon password. But I advise you not to use your birthday as a new password because it is easy to guess. You should create a strong password.

6. In the final text box, you’re asked to Type a password hint. This step is optional but I highly recommend that you use it. If you try logging in to Windows 7 but enter the wrong password, this hint will pop up, hopefully jogging your memory.

7. Click the ‘Create password’ button to confirm your new password.

8. After creating a new password, you will be returned to the User Accounts window. Now you can see the user account ‘Andy’ has been password protected.

9. Now that your Windows 7 account has a password setup, you must use this password to log on to Windows 7 from this point forward.

10. Create a Windows 7 password reset disk. While not a required part of creating a new password, I highly recommend that you do this. A password reset disk will protect you from the consequences of forgetting your new Windows 7 password. If you lost Windows 7 account password and you don’t have created a password reset disk, you can use this efficient and safe tool.

Is it worth upgrading my old laptop to Windows 7?

Apr 122010

My blog reader Dave wonders if it’s worth getting PC World to upgrade his old laptop to Windows 7 Operating System.

Question:

I have an Advent 8109 laptop bought in 2006, and I would like to have Windows 7 system installed. PC World, from whom I purchased the laptop, can do this for £102 plus £49 installation fee.
Dave

Answer:

You can sell about £ 150 – £ 160 for one at Christmas 8109, when you get on eBay.co.uk, it is difficult to justify the expenditure at 151 pounds, she changed into Windows 7 As usual, the Advent 8109 has an Intel Celeron 1.6 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and a 60GB hard drive for about 390 pounds, but I recommend 2 GB for Windows 7 Today, PC World is selling the Acer Aspire 5738 installed with 2.1 GHz Dual Core T4300, 3 GB of memory and a 250GB hard drive with Windows 7 for £ 399. Search 738,415 product code on the side of PC World. There are similar options from other providers, including Tesco Direct. I do buy, sell dear old PC and a new condition that is not the extra 100 pounds an insurmountable obstacle. In both cases, you must reinstall all your old software: PC World will save your data, but it will not reinstall all your old programs.
