"Hi, how to get administrator privileges on Windows 10 without password"

On a Windows based computer, having administrator rights means a lot as it gives you total and full access to all the features of your computer. You can uninstall any programs you want, you can add new programs, change firewall settings, and do pretty much everything you can imagine doing on your computer. To do it, though, first you will need to learn how to get administrator privileges on Windows 10 without password.

One of the ways to get admin privileges is to have your account as an admin account. If you have been restricted from having an admin account and you are stuck to your regular account, there are still some ways you can use to get admin rights on your computer.

The following guide covers three methods for you to enjoy admin privileges on your Windows 10 computer.

Method 1. Get Administrator Privileges with built-in Administrator Account

If you do not already know, your Windows computer actually comes with a default admin account on it. This account is hidden by default but you can unhide and use it to access admin rights.

You do not need to be a tech savvy to be able to use the built-in administrator account available on your computer. All you basically need to do to unhide the account is to run a command in the Command Prompt utility on your computer.

  • Press the Windows + X keys at the same time and then select Command Prompt (Admin) from the newly opened menu on your screen.

    open command prompt
  • When a Command Prompt window launches, type in the following command and press Enter.

    net user administrator /active:yes

    enable admin

The default admin account should now be enabled on your computer. There is an important thing that you would like to know, though, as you can only enable the admin account from another admin account. It means if you are not already logged-in to an admin account, you cannot perform the above procedure.

Method 2. Remove Admin Password and Get Administrator Privileges

If the only account you have access to is a regular account and you want to gain admin rights, your best option is to remove the password from one of the admin accounts on your machine and then log into that account.

You are going to need a software to do the task as the default options will not let you remove the admin account password. Windows Password Recovery Tool is one of the software you can use to remove passwords from the accounts on your machine. You can use it to remove your admin account's password to then access it. The following should teach you how to get administrator privileges on Windows 10 without password or CMD:

Step 1. Download and install the software on your spare computer. Insert a blank CD/DVD/USB flash drive into your computer, launch the software, select your drive in it, and click on the Burn button.
