| Guest | Re: Admistrator Account Hello, what does "does nothing" mean? Any error message, or just nothing done? Try re-executing the command with an elevated command prompt: Right-click cmd.exe, select "Run as administrator" and write that again. Hope it will work now. Greetings, P.

| Guest | Re: Admistrator Account Hi, Nothing means it does not remove the administrator account or disable it, It still shows on the welcome screen and is still active, I tried running the way you said "run as administrator" and it says 'cannot find user' if I take out the 'net' it seems to accept it, but again nothing happens, maybe I'm doing it wrong? After I type in net user etc should I just close it or should I hit enter to activate the command. "P. Di Stolfo" wrote: Quote: > Hello, > > what does "does nothing" mean?

| Guest | Re: Admistrator Account Hello, OK, then let's try it another way: Press Windows-key + R -> gpedit.msc -> Enter . In the left, expand Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options . In the right, you'll see an entry named "Accounts: Administrator account status". Double-click it and select "Disabled". Hope this will work. Good luck! Greetings, P.
