    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.

    New query: I have dropped my laptop and on powering up it comes up with Administrator as the log in requiring password. It has been so long I have no idea what the Aministrator password was and can’t get passed this page to get to any listings to run the command you suggest. Please can you give me any advice.
    Thanks Chris

    Yeah. My computer does not have a Local Security Policy directory. As a result, this isn’t doing me any good.
