I'm using windows 10 home version. I somehow accidentally enabled the administrator account when trying to fix another account and couldn't seem to remove it. It keeps showing up in the login screen, which is quite annoying, and I wasn't able to remove it using the command net user administrator /active:no
. Also, I noticed that the account showed up in the netplwiz
window (it wasn't there before), but I couldn't delete it from there either.
Update:
I just found out that, interestingly, two administrator accounts started showing up in the login screen. One would require only the password, and the other one would require both the username and the password to login. Any ideas why this is happening?
I was just thinking, but...could this possibly suggest that I had another user account actually named "Administrator"? (the netplwiz
window is only showing one administrator account)
The two accounts showed up like this in the login screen.
Can you take a screen shot or a photo of this screen and attach it to your question that shows two administrators? Check the
Computer Management
>Local Users and Group
>Users
if applicable on your Windows 10 version and send a screen shot of the two named "administrator" accounts from there as well. Otherwise, update thenetplwiz
screen shot to show the two from that window. – Pimp Juice IT – 2017-08-28T12:16:06.700You can always use this answer to disable the built-in Administrator account. As for the possibility have having multiple accounts named Administrator, only you can tell us if that is the case, you have not provided us enough information to determine if that is actually the case or not.
