How to create Hidden Administrator User Account in Windows 10

You might have observed that during Windows 10 installation set up when you complete installation Windows 10 creates two additional user accounts that are hidden by default. One is a guest account which is very limited, and the other is the administrator account. The difference between the created user account and the built-in user account is that the built-in account is an elevated account (administrator) and will not give UAC prompts.

Windows automatically generates this elevated, hidden Super Administrator account which remains hidden by default owing to security reasons. The built-in Administrator account is usually used to troubleshoot Windows and therefore should only be used during troubleshooting. Unlike the normal Administrator account, this hidden by default or built-in Administrator account runs all programs and tools with admin rights by default.

We have seen how to create a new User Account in Windows 10. Today, I will show you a way that will let you create a new hidden administrator user account on your Windows PC. It should work on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 as well as Windows Vista systems.

Create Hidden Administrator User Account in Windows 10

Copy-paste the following text in Notepad:

@echo off net user hidden yourpassword /add net localgroup Administrators hidden /add 

Please note that in place of yourpassword, you have to enter your password. You may also replace hidden with a username of your choice.
