Ғылым және технология
You can limit how much a user can do in Windows by switching on the built-in Administrator account, then downgrading the user's account to a standard user.

Thank you!!! I was unable to access anything on my Admin account and this video helped me tremendously. Once I was able to create another account I was not able to do anything so went under services under Task Manager and voila! This video was so helpful.
Thanks Dave for being clear and to the point , your style is great for teaching ....
Simple, clear instructions. Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks so much. Just what I need to know. Especially lots of "junk help" on the web
Thank you. You just helped me to get into my Pastors mothers (She past) computer. She had it locked down tight! I was able to turn on the default Administrator account and get to her files for him.

Hi dave got 1 question want to clarify as you have mentioned in windows 10 by default main user account is administrator. So is it mandatory that i have to turned on. The reason i am asking if i don't turned-in the hidden administrator account will i be still able to monitor the activities of the other accounts like family one if i had added my child account so i can put some restrictions like by mistake my child would not be able to access the control panel to avoid any discrepancies like deleting program.

How to remove this? Basically how to solve when you forget your password or your laptop is just yours and you don’t need anymore to control the computer for someone else?

@@seratoneo7276 PowerShell is just a newer version of CMD that is able to do more, but this line of code is a CMD command, it'll work fine. Personally, I prefer CMD over PowerShell due to its legacy nature, I don't need a prompt that can do any more than what CMD does for me.
My computer is saying access denied 😢plz help me plz
it keeps saying username could not be found
also cannot type the password i dont know where to type
they say the user could not be found or smthing like this
Built-in administrator can't be truly removed from your Windows 10 system, but can be disabled and hidden.
Is this how to prevent hackers or viruses?
Thank u
Dave's Tech Rescue should make another video on how to remove this built in Administrator account!, Period. Activation of the built in Administrator account could lead to the account being locked and users need to find another way to get it unlocked.
I can’t swap to it
Thanku
i need help bc my dad removed all other accounts with admin and removed the main acc from being an admin which leaves the computer not having admin accounts and i was not able to run anything as admin and give myself admin so if u could, please help me (he told me the password btw)
