Setting up a Super Administrator account for Windows Home

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 Home, perform the following:

 
  • You may not be able to use Windows Hello to unlock your computer screen or enroll fingerprints and faces 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.

Enable Super Administrator account

  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 Command Prompt window and press Enter. Please note that there is a space between "administrator" and "/active:yes". To set the password of the Super Administrator account, enter "net user administrator 123456" and press Enter. (123456 refers to the password that you set. You can customize the password.)

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

Disable Super Administrator account

If there is only one super administrator, close the Super Administrator account with caution. Otherwise, no account is available after the account is closed.

  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:no" on the Command Prompt window and press Enter. Please note that there is a space between "administrator" and "/active:no". Restart your computer.
