How to Enable Built-in Administrator Account When You Cannot Sign-In to Windows 11
To enable the built-in Administrator account, you must be logged in with a standard admin account. If you are locked out of your PC, you can still enable it using Command Prompt at boot via Windows Recovery Environment. Here is how to do it:
1. Power on your PC and wait for the login screen to appear.
2. Click the Power button in the bottom left corner. While holding the Shift key, press the Restart button. Click Restart anyway if prompted by Windows. Windows will now start in Windows Recovery Environment.
3. In the Choose an option screen, open the Troubleshoot option.
4. Next, go to Advanced options - Command Prompt.
5. In the Command Prompt window, type the "regedit" command and press Enter to open Registry Editor.
6. In the Registry Editor, select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key.
7. Next, click on File (in the toolbar) and select Load Hive.
8. When the Explorer window opens, click on This PC.
9. Next, navigate to the following location:
C:\Windows\System32\config
10. Here, locate and select the SAM file and click Open
11. In the Load Hive dialog, type REM_SAM and click OK
12. In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\REM_SAM\SAM\Domains\Account\Users\000001F4
13. In the right-pane, right-click on the F binary value and select Modify.
14. Under the Value data column, locate 00000038. Then, change the value 11 to 10 and click OK. This will enable the Administrator account in Windows 11.
15. Close the Registry Editor and the Command Prompt window.
16. In Windows Recovery Environment, click on Continue to startup Windows.
