Administrators AWS Posted January 13, 2013 Administrators Posted January 13, 2013 I am unable to deactivate the built-in Administrator account in Windows 7. I have tried doing it via an elevated command prompt with "net user administrator /active:no" but all this does, after reboot, is display an error message about the wrong user name or password and presents the Administrator account as a log-in option anyway (along with an option for "other users"). But if I attempt to log in to this Administrator account it requires a password to log-in, which I have not set. If I enable the account (again by elevated command prompt), I can log in as the Administrator normally, without password. I can still log in to my own account regardless but I would like to know how to solve this anyway. I can avoid the error by removing the password from my account but I don't want to do that.
