Now keep in mind that Microsoft has gone to great lengths to prevent you from using the real Administrator account and, as you can imagine, strongly discourages the technique I'm about to show you here. As such, I must emphasize that you should use the real Administrator account very sparingly -- never make it your default modus operandi!
With that being said, I also have to warn you that you use this technique at your own risk. While you might think that since Microsoft discourages the use of Windows 7's Administrator account, it is hidden deep within the bowels of the operating system. However, that's not the case at all. In fact, to find the Administrator account you have to look no further than the Local Users and Groups tool.
Keep in mind that now that the Administrator Account is activated you can also work with the account in the User Accounts tool in the Control Panel. By default, the Administrator account has a blank password, so the first order of business after activating the account is to set a password -- preferably a complex password consisting of at least eight characters and using uppercase, lowercase, and numbers or special symbols.
Again, I must emphasize that you should use the real Administrator account sparingly and never make it your default mode of operation! As you can see, it's a relatively easy operation to activate the real Administrator account in Windows 7 once you know the technique. Now that you know how it's done, are you likely to use the Administrator account? Have you disabled UAC?
