1. Go to Control Panel -> System and Security -> Administrative Tools
2. In Administrative tools Double click Computer Management
3. In Computer Management expand Local users and groups -> Click on the Users Folder -> Right click the Administrator then click on properties from the context menu.
4. Uncheck Account is dissabled to enable the administrator account. Apply
