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? The problem I have is the "Other User" and I want to disable it because it will allow the end user to log on as domain account. Thank you. Regards, Calvin. We may not able to do so. And it is not safe to disable all other users logon that computer especially the computer is in domain.
If it corrupts, local admin will also failed to login. Maybe quit domain when logoff the computer is an option. Sunday, October 25, AM. Tuesday, October 27, PM. The following will work for a computer in a workgroup using the welcome page. Put all the accounts in that subkey. I have also confirmed this on my Windows 7 Ultimate computer I use at home. I use the hidden but not disabled accounts to provide share access in a workgroup environment, so I don't want to see them on the logon page.
I think the proper workaround for share access is using homegroups instead, but I don't think it provides enough granularity for me. Wednesday, October 28, AM. It is wierd. I have been doing same thing last 2 days for many times but it only worked today.
One think i have done though, i have cleared Name section of user account. Ok, it now looks like I have a problem, I tried the above mentioned solution, and now I can't use my first account which has administrator rights anymore; I can't even do a Runas anymore so I can't undo the change in the registry.

I would be so happy if you could. Wednesday, January 19, PM. Proposed as answer by rayk88 Friday, October 21, AM. Thursday, January 20, AM. Hi, I wanted to do the same, follow the initial instructions and then was also blocked, because I hide the only administrator account.
Found 2 solutions apart from using Win 7 DVD to correct the situation: I activated previously the remote session, so I was able to login with Remote Desktop with administrator account, I know not everyone could have it enabled, so the next option should help everyone: In standard or guest account, Shift-Right Click Regedit and select "Run as different user" and then I was able to use the hidden account and revert the setting or run any other process.
The objective from my point of view is a combination of security and facilitate the common users login, is that common users only see standard account on welcome screen, but when needed, a power user still can do configuration tasks. I will test if doing option 2 when needed is a feasible way to administer this secured computer. Sunday, February 13, AM. Re: ArcadiaZone I tried the method you posted it works as for removing a user account.

Hi, First of all, you have to logon to your system using current administrator password.
Click the Start menu and in the search box you have to type control userpasswords2. You could click the control userpasswords2 under the Programs. This would launch User Accounts dialog box. After that, you need to enter your current username and the password. You need to click OK and restart the system. Monday, August 29, AM. That is exactly what I was looking to do!
