How do I gain root access on my computer?
#2
There is a hidden administrator account, built into Windows 10.
This isn't an account, that should be used on a daily basis.
The built-in administrator account has a lot more privileges, than a regular administrator account.
These privileges can easily get you into trouble if used regularly.
I recommend, only enabling the built-in administrator account. If you're certain you need it to troubleshoot a specific problem.
Being sure to disable it when you are done.
If you’re unsure whether you need it, you probably shouldn’t use it at all.

With that said. Below are the instructions, about how to enable/disable this account.

Open a command prompt in administrator mode.
Type the following command:




Code:
net user administrator /active:yes

A message will display, that the command completed successfully.
Log out, and you should see the administrator account as a choice.

Note: There isn't a password set for this account.

To disable the built-in administrator account.

Make sure you're logged on, using your regular user account.  
Open command prompt as administrator.
Type the following command:




Code:
net user administrator /active:no

The administrator account should now be disabled, and shouldn’t show at login any longer.
