How To Enable Vista Ultimate Administrator Account
Although it’s possible to create a new Vista user account of Administrator group, the User Account Control (UAC) will automatically running all user processes in standard user account privilege.
Having says that, the user created accounts in Administrator group are pseudo Administrator accounts! Unless you’ve tweaked or disabled the Vista UAC, a Windows process or event that requires Administrator privilege will pop up a Consent UI for confirmation.
However, there is a built-in, ultimate real Vista super user account that’s exactly called Administrator (by default).
The built-in Vista Administrator account is ultimate real super user account
By using this account, you’ll regain the real Windows Administrator privilege - the Vista UAC feature and IE7 Protected Mode will be disabled altogether!
As this built-in account is disabled by default installation, you might need to follow these steps to turn on / enable the Vista Administrator account:
An additional down-arrow icon is display on Vista user accounts that are disabled.
- Click the Windows Orb and type
control userpasswords2in the Start Search text box, - Click the Advanced tab of the User Accounts dialog box,
- Click the Advanced button in Advanced User Management section,
- Double click the Users menu on the left panel,
- (An additional down-arrow icon is shown on all Vista user accounts that are currently disabled)
- Right-click the Administrator account (in middle column) and select the Properties menu
- Untick the “Account Is Disabled” check box and click Apply follow by OK button.
Un-tick the check box of Account Is Disabled to turn on the ultimate real Vista Administrator account
From now onwards, you’ll see an additional user account icon called Administrator in Vista logon screen. Logon to this account will give you the ultimate user privilege!

i have tried it but to no avail. i only receive this message:

Access is denied.
pls help
I suppose that you’d prompted by the Vista Consent UI (unless the UAC is disabled), and so you should able to save the settings made.
But I’m not sure is there difference if the Vista PC being part of the domain where group policy controls this. i.e. the local administrator can’t overwrite the setting unless domain controller credential is used.
To be comfirmed, type
gpedit.mscat the Vista Start Search text box to bring up Local Group Policy editor.Then browse to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options.
Now, on the right-pane of editor window, the top most option is “Accounts: Administrator account status”, where you could set the real administrator account of Windows Vista to be enabled or disabled.
A non-domain Window Vista PC should only has Policy and Security Settings in the Local Group Policy editor. If there is an additional column (that say something related to domain), then you might notice the differences.
Please comment.
