net user Administrator /active:yes activates account admin, not Admini

[yky]

I want to activate the default Administrator account. After I enter the command "net user Administrator /active:yes", an administrator account named "admin", not "Administrator", appears. Since what I want is Administrator, not admin, I try to change account name from admin to Administrator. I get an error message saying the account name Administrator already exists. Where is it? I wonder.

Anyway, how do I activate the default administrator account Administrator? Thanks.

Are you running from a Elevated Command prompt?

Thank you for the reply. The method I used is the option 2 in the the reference you gave. However, the method did not activate the account "Administrator". It activated "admin". That is my problem.

Thank you for the reply.
Yes. I right-click the "command prompt" in my Start menu and chose "Run as administrator" before issuing the "net user" command.

What does net user show you (from elevated command prompt)?

Does it list Administrator or admin?

Thanks for the reply. I'll try it after finishing a trip.
