How to enable administrator account using CMD
Windows 10 has a built-in local administrator account, but it is disabled by default. Although it is not necessary to enable this account, some technical users usually use the administrator account for troubleshooting and administrative purposes.

This guide will show you how to enable the built-in Administrator account in Windows 10 using Command Prompt, PowerShell, or Computer Management.
