I am not an administrator but i wanna activate it.
When i tried out the solutions it says access denied..
Please help!!
Thank you very much for this. I had to enable the admin account with a linux hack to repair a computer and I couldn’t find a way to disable it again. Every other site out there just assumes you are working on Win 7 Professional, which has options in the user account settings specifically for doing this. These options are missing in Win7 Home. It took me a while to find your site, but you have a place in my bookmarks now.

Any one who is having the access denied issue, it is because you are not right clicking cmd and running as admin.
to hide it, type:
“net user administrator /active:no”
That should turn it off.
