Can't regain administrator privileges after hiding the admin's account on win log-on

0

I've followed the guide here to hide the admin's account from log on area but now i only have a standard account left and i can't access regedit as admin to do the necessary work and bring the admin account back. when i want to access the regedit as admin, it doesn't even show admin's account as if the admin's account not only is hidden from log on but it's also hidden from every part of the Windows. i'm using Windows 8.1. Please help i need to know how can i get admin's account back.

Did you hide it as admin? Are you trying to unhide it from non-admin? – Raystafarian – 2015-04-18T10:07:16.180

1Use the tool of your choice that can create an Administrator user outside of Windows. – Ramhound – 2015-04-18T11:21:19.613
