In computer management underr local user and groups. In user you will find the Full Admin disabled by default in Ultimate and Business in Premium it is another procedure. Here is the other way to do it After experimentation with both Home Basic and Home Premium, only two steps are necessary to unhide the administrator account, no registry changes are required.

Step 1: Open a command window by going to all programs -> accessories and choosing the dos box, right click and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

Step 2: type the following: net user Administrator /active:yes and hit enter

Step 3: type the following: net user Administrator Password (where Password is whatever you want the admin password to be) and hit enter

Type exit to close the dos box, reboot and your computer should present you with the option to login to your own account or the administrator account. That administrator password will be the one you set in the net user command above.
