How to set up a Super Administrator account for Windows 10

A Super Administrator account in Windows gives you some extra privileges over the normal administrator account, and provides a lot more permissions for running apps or changing settings. To set the Super Administrator account in Windows 10 Home, perform the following:

 

• You may not be able to use Windows Hello or use fingerprints to unlock your computer screen after you switch to the Super Administrator account.
• You can delete other accounts using the Super Administrator account.
• The Super Administrator account is not supported on Windows 10 Home by default. It is recommended that you do not use it unless necessary.
• Before setting the Super Administrator account, ensure that the local account has the administrator rights. Otherwise, the Super Administrator account cannot be enabled.

1. Enter "CMD" in the search box on the taskbar and right-click Command Prompt, and click Run as administrator.

   

2. Enter net user administrator /active:yes on the Administrator: Command Prompt window and press Enter. Please note that there is a space between "administrator" and "/active:yes".

   

3. Click the Windows icon and the Account icon, then click Administrator to log in with your Super Administrator account.

   

   

   To clear the Super Administrator account, enter "net user administrator /active:no" on the Administrator: Command Prompt window and press Enter. Please note that there is a space between "administrator" and "/active:no". Restart your computer. If there is only one super administrator, close the Super Administrator account with caution. Otherwise, no account is available after the account is closed.
