1) open a command prompt in administrator mode by right-clicking and
choosing "Run as administrator" (Start >> ALL Programs >> Accessories"
2) at the prompt type >> net user administrator /active:yes
3) Log out, and you'll now see the Administrator account as a choice

to deactivate the account type>> net user administrator /active:no

If you are unable to run the command prompt in Administrator mode, Restart
your laptop in Safe Mode with Networking from boot menu (press f8 when
compter starts)
