When is theAdministrator Name and Password Created

I purchased a new HP laptop which included Windows 7 -Home & Premium. I did the install, however, I do not remember during the install asking me to create the Administrator Name along with a password. I did create the Recovery Disks, but have not yet rebooted. When is the Administrator's ID created? I do remember seeing an ID that may have been the default Administrator ID (Rick-PC)was created. But I don't remember typing a password. If so, what are my options or suggestions to create an Administrator ID? Thank You Rick

Go to control panel and then accounts. Check the existing accounts to see if there is one already set up in your chosen name. A password can be added if not already there. An additional admin account can also be added in the manner matching what would be to your liking and then delete any existing account that is not the way it was intended.

called Administrator is created when you first login but you cannot access it or log into it with 7HP. The Administrator account is disabled by default, so you need at least 7Pro to manage, including enabling, all accounts.

..When Windows 7 is first setup, an admin user is set up and it's given a default name, unless you choose something different.. That user is almost surely, the one you're using now, assuming you haven't created other users on the machine.

At the same time, there is a "hidden" admin account with the user name "administrator" which is running in the background. By default it has a blank password, but it can't be accessed unless it's enabled. On operating systems such as Windows XP, the hidden "administrator" account could be accessed by booting into Safe Mode. For Windows 7, to enable the hidden adminstrator, see the instructions below:

Click on Start-Run, then type: cmd then press "Enter" At the command prompt, type: Net user administrator /active:yes
Press the "Enter" key..
An unpassworded Administrator account will now show up on the Welcome screen.

To disable it: Open the command window again, and type: Net user administrator /active:no
Press the "Enter" key.

Alternatively you can also enable or disable the administrator account from the Local Policy. Click on the start menu and type secpol.msc in the search bar and click enter. This opens the Local Security Policy. Navigate to Local Policies-> Security Options and here you can see an entry Accounts: Administrator account. Double click the entry to enable or disable.

Or?open the Control Panel, double click on "Administrative Tools", then "Computer Management", then "Local Users and Groups" on the left side of the screen, then the "Users" folder.. Once there, RIGHT click on the "Administrator" listing in the middle of the screen, select "Properties", then UNCHECK the "Account is Disabled" box. Click on "Apply", then OK


Hope this helps.

I have already made changes, so I don't know. Do you see the Administrator account in Safe Mode? On mine, I have to activate it with a 3rd party program before I can use it in Safe Mode -- or in Realtime mode.

The program that I use is Ultimate Windows Tweaker, which can be downloaded here at C/Net (Download.com) at http://download.cnet.com/Ultimate-Windows-Tweaker/3000-2094_4-10915128.html?tag=mncol;3 .

It doesn't come with an installation program, so you will have to manually place it somewhere, such as in the C:Program Files (x86) folder. Then, to place it in your Start Menu, you would have to make a shortcut icon for it and place it in the C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms folder.

Once you have made the above "installation" you are ready to use the program.

To activate the Administrator account, open Ultimate Windows Tweaker, click on "User Accounts & UAC" and when that window opens, you will see the tool for the Administrator account on the right. It is set for Disable. Change it to Enable, and then click on the Apply button, and then click on the Close button. It will ask you to log off, and when you do, you will see the Administrator account, ready to use.

The first time you use the Administrator account, it will create the folders and files. Once you have used the Administrator account, the drawback is that you cannot delete it, because there are no controls for it in the UserAccounts part of Control Panel. Therefore, I would highly recommend that you make a good backup of its folder, located at C:UsersAdministrator, because if you accidentally delete that folder, the next time you try to use the account, it will tell you that the files could not be found, so it is now in Temporary Mode until you can fix the problem (and the ONLY fix is to replace all those files), and it will not be fully functional. It is now like Windows XP Professonal, which, if the folder is deleted, it would simply rebuild the folder. This version of Windows does not do that.

Now I'm back to the original question... What do you see in Safe Mode? DO you see the Administrator account? or do you only see your User Account? If you cannot see your Administrator Account now, then the only way you WOULD be able to use it is to download and use that program--and that means that you would either have to keep it Active, which would mean that each time you boot up, you would need to choose between Administrator or your UserName Account, or Disable it--and run the risk of your not being able to log into your UserName account and not have the Administrator account to log into -- which is why there is supposed to be an Administrator account in the first place. But that's Microsoft for you...Always making changes!
