[SOLVED] Reactivate Adminstrator Is there a quick fix for reactivating the administrator account in windows 8 (audit mode) so that I can continue with my changes? Ive restarted and turned off the VM several times but it only has happened now. Its doing this in three different VM's.
OPTION 1 net user administrator /active:Yes OPTION 2 Change the properties of the Administrator account by using the Local Users and Groups Microsoft Management Console (MMC). Open the MMC console and select Local Users and Groups. Right-click the Administrator account and select Properties. The Administrator Properties window appears. On the General tab, clear the Account is Disabled check box. Close the MMC console. Administrator access is now enabled.
Thanks for the replies. I ended up doing: Net User Administrator /active Yes Net User Administrator * (and entered a password.)
Yes thanks. Turns out I was able to get the Administrator account to "reactivate" by itself with a few restarts.
