Under Windows XP and earlier versions of Windows, there was only one administrator account and most individual users used it as their main account. But Windows Vista and later, i.e. Windows 10 and Windows 8/7, have another built-in administrator account that can be called a hidden super administrator secret account super administrator. It is hidden and disabled by default and looks like the’root’ account under Unix.

The use of the administrator account is defined in Windows Vista, and it is rarely necessary to use it instead of another administrator account. During Vista installation, the administrator account is disabled, but if you upgrade from Windows XP and the administrator is the only active local administrator account, the administrator remains enabled. In this case, it is set to the UAC approval mode. Since it is not subject to UAC instructions and operates with all administrative rights, it is quite risky to execute it regularly. Each application could then have total control over the computer. So I suggest to use it sparingly, only if you need to perform several administrative tasks and don’t want to be bothered by UAC prompts. This’Super’ administrator account does not have a password to start with, which is a serious vulnerability for a full administrator account. It is best to assign a secure password to this account as soon as possible.
