The "Administrator" account in the Windows operating system is the main account under which the computer is managed and configured. Users with a lower priority cannot do certain actions - for example, install and uninstall programs, disable User Account Control, and more. For these actions, they will need an administrator password.

Instructions
Step 1
If the administrator account is inactive by default on your operating system, you can activate it. Boot the computer in safe mode - and the system will offer you to choose whether to boot by the administrator or the user. Select an administrator and after turning on the operating system, set a password.
Step 2
Try to find the administrator account in the service section of user accounts through the "Control Panel". When installing the operating system, by default, the administrator password is not set, and you can configure the account as you need. All settings are made in manual mode, so try to enter all the data correctly so that you do not have to correct everything later.
Step 3
In the event that a password is set for the administrator user, but you do not know it, you can either guess it using the system hint or hack it. To recover the password by means of the system, use the recovery utility, which will display a hint recorded by the administrator.
Step 4
To reset your password, boot your computer from any assembly LiveCD that contains a set of system configuration utilities. Make sure the disk has Windows Key Enterprise Edition or any password reset utility. Typically, operating system installation discs have similar software available.
Step 5
After running this utility, it remains to reboot the computer, enter the operating system under an administrator account (if it cannot be selected at boot time, enter first into safe mode) and set your own password. Thus, you can find out the administrator password on your computer using the item "User accounts".
