    Hi spacewater and welcome to Windows 7 Forums

    See Administrator Account - Vista Forums This is from Vista, but it operates in exactly the same way in W7.

    Basically, you have not got the command correct. It should read as follows:

    net user administrator /active:yes to enable the account and
    net user administrator /active:no to disable it.
