Built-in Administrator Account - Enable or Disable in Windows 8

How to Enable or Disable Built-in Elevated "Administrator" Account Windows 8 and 8.1

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the hidden built-in elevated Administrator account in Windows 8, Windows RT, Windows 8.1, and Windows RT 8.1.

You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to do the steps in this tutorial.

Note   Note
Standard user (Users) - The standard account is an unelevated restricted user account then can be a local account or Microsoft account. It can help protect your computer by preventing users from making changes that affect everyone who uses the computer, such as deleting files that are required for the computer to work. It is recommend to create a standard account for each user instead of an administrator account for the user. When you are logged on to Windows with a standard account, you can do almost anything that you can do with an administrator account, but if a standard user wanted to do something that requires elevated rights that affects other users of the computer, such as installing software or changing security settings, Windows will give the standard user a UAC prompt to enter the password of an administrator account for approval and confirmation before allowing the action.

administrator user - Is an unelevated administrator account that is created by default during the installation of Windows 8 or 8.1, or is already setup for you on a OEM (ex: Dell) computer. This account can be a local account or Microsoft account. An administrator account has complete access to the computer, and can make any desired changes. To help make the computer more secure, this administrator account type will be prompted by UAC by default to give confirmation before allowed to make any changes that require elevated administrator rights. Such as those that affect the system, other users, or when running anything elevated (Run as Administrator) since running elevated will allow it to have access to the entire computer.

Built-in "Administrator" - Is the hidden elevated local administrator account that has full unrestricted access rights and permission on the computer. By default, this elevated "Administrator" account is not prompted by UAC by default to provide confirmation before allowed to make any changes that require elevated administrator permissions since it is an elevated account.

I just recently discovered this and was curious about it. Is this the same as windwos XP default admin account as far as priveleges go. Is it more dangerous so to speak to use this than the default windows xp admin account or just about the same as far as security goes? If I use a PC where the windows partition is deepfeezed would it be safe to use this or is there bots from the net that can still use the cpu even after a reboot? I would like to use it because I find that things like disabling auto updates in java and software I use require admin rights and some programs won't save there settings etc etc. I would like to have a normal working machine like windows xp where settings and programs running properly did not require run as admin or special tweaks. Is it a bad idea to run in this mode on a deepfrozen computer?

Hello papayrus,

Yep, that's correct. The built-in elevated "Administrator" in Windows 8 is basically the same as an administrator account in XP.

Since Vista, a normal administrator account no longer has elevated rights by default and acts like a "standard user" account now. While signed in an administrator account you can either use "run as administrator" (elevated) or approve an UAC prompt when prompted to allow something to elevated instead.

The built-in elevated Administrator account and anything that runs while signed in to this account has full unrestricted elevated rights. That's why this account should not be used for everyday usage, but only as needed instead. Something could easily run in the background with full elevated rights without you ever knowing about it since you never got a UAC prompt for you to allow or deny letting it run elevated first.


For your trusted programs that need to run elevated, you could set Compatibility Mode for them to always "run as administrator". While signed in to a normal administrator account, you would be prompted by UAC first when you want to open the program before it is allowed to run elevated.

Hope this helps, :)
Shawn

I have not had any problems with windows xp and programs running in the background and as well like I said I use deepfreeze. So would this mean if I keep windows xp free of background garbage then I should be able to do the same with the admin account of windows 8?

Yes, you could.

However, it would still be considered to be a security risk since everything runs elevated and unrestricted while signed in to the built-in Administrator account.

Yeah I understand it is considered a security risk but it sounds like it would be no more of a security risk than running windows xp as it is and I have no issues with malware and crap on my windows xp machines.

Option two is very useful if you were not able to gain Admin rights (UAC asks for admin password while there is no text box and Yes is greyed out).
I have experienced this once, and i must do a reset (refresh won't fix the problem).

papayrus,

Yes, you could do that if you wish.

However, the built-in Administrator account is only a local account, and cannot be switched to be a Microsoft account. You will also not be able to run any Store apps while signed in to the built-in Administrator account.

I don't really care about the apps but what do you mean by a Microsoft Account and what does it have to do with windows 8? Sounds like something I don't use in windows 8.

The link in my post above will give you more information about a Microsoft account, but basically it's like a roaming profile account that uses an email address. It let's you sync your account settings on any PC that you have the same Microsoft account on.

Sounds useful but I don't think I would miss it since I never even knew it exsisted.

You might consider keeping another normal administrator account as a Microsoft account to play with to get more familiar with Windows 8.

With what you are wanting to do, you will pretty much be missing a lot of features in Windows 8 that you might like.

Now you have me worried. What features will I be missing in admin mode? I just need the OS to operate bug free and don't need any fancy extras like syncing or apps. Now you got me thinking it will cripple some parts of the OS?

No worries. syncing and apps is most of it. I was just making that recommendation so that you could do some exploring when you have time to see if you may like using them. That's all. :)

That's cool yes I like using them on my machine but not on the business machines.

To Enable or Disable Built-in Administrator in Command Prompt at Boot
NOTE: This option is great for when you are unable to sign in to Windows 8.

I was wondering, in case I won't be able to sign in into Win8 at some time, if one follows this, how do you know the password of the built-in administrator? And if there isn't any, doesn't that mean that anyone who steals a pc or laptop can get full access?
