Hi Frazer,

Enabling the hidden administrator account will allow you to do anything without restrictions. We suggest disabling the feature after making changes to the PC. It is also best to create a password to protect it from an unauthorized access. To do this procedure, follow these steps:

1. Open Run command box by simultaneously pressing Windows + R keys.
2. In the Run command box, type lusrmgr.msc and then press Enter key to open Local Users and Groups window.
3. In the left-pane, click Users folder to see various account names in the middle pane.
4. Double-click on the Administrator entry in the middle pane to open its properties dialog.
5. Under the General tab, uncheck the option labelled Account is disabled, and then click Apply button to enable the built-in admin account.

Close the Local Users and Groups window. The enabled Administrator account should be visible on the login screen. Also, you can quickly switch to or sign in to the Administrator account by clicking the user name on the Start and then clicking Administrator.

Let us know how it goes.
