Administrator Disabled, can't Re-enable.

As the title says i disabled the Administrator account with the net user administrator /active:no command in CMD.

Now i can't seem to re enable it.

Please advice.

you need
net user Administrator /active:yes

None of the above work, for most of them it says i don't have permission, which is obvious since i am trying to do it from Standar User, and there's no option to choose or edit a Admin account.

p.s sorry for LATE reply, had some PC trouble.

So there's nothing i can do?

Sounds lame for such a high profile and expensive OS .

You could do a clean re-install of the OS, but then you probably dont have a backup.

Lame?! So a standard user should be able to do damaging administrative tasks? Thats just silly of you.

Anyways... Built-in Administrator - Enable from WinRE

No lame as in, if by accident you disable the administrator account, like i did, i ofc assumed that it can be enabled back, and then u can't re-enable it.

I tried that tutorial already, when trying to access Config folder it asks for permission, which i don't have.

Reinstall it is. You can mark it as "solved".
