Win7 SU account

http://www.webtlk.com/2010/04/28/how-to-turn-on-super-administrator-account-in-windows-7/

Windows 7 has got a super administrator account which, by default, is disabled. Such account is automatically created when Windows 7 boots up for the first time but, for security reasons, is hidden from view. Let’s see how to turn it on thanks to a simple query in the Command Prompt.

  1. Click Start.
  2. In the Search field, type CMD.
  3. On the list of available programs, right click the Command Prompt icon and clickRun as Administrator.
  4. In the black window, type: net users administrator /active:yes
  5. Press Enter.
  6. The system should return you with the following message: The command completed successfully.
  7. Now, exit the Command Prompt and click the Start icon.
  8. Log off from the current account and in the Account window you should now see the Administrator account.
  9. Done!
  10. If you want to turn off the Admin account, type: net users administrator /active:no
