How Do I Find the Built in Administrator?
Contents

Windows 8 & 8.1 have a built-in admin command prompt (press windows key+x) and you will see the option which says “Command Prompt (Administrator)” or, if it’s windows 10, in the search bar / Cortana, type cmd.

How do I know if I have built-in administrator?

Open MMC, and then select Local Users and Groups. Right-click the Administrator account, and then select Properties. The Administrator Properties window appears.

How do I find my built-in administrator password?

To enable this account, open an elevated Command Prompt window and issue two commands. First, type net user administrator /active:yes and press Enter. Then type net user administrator <Password>, where <Password> is the actual password you want to use for this account.
