I believe you are mostly correct, the "account" is disabled (in the
GUI logon. I believe it can not be disabled in "Safe Mode" (otherwise
how would you fix a farkled install?
I re-read the OP's question and I am guessing this is UAC asking for
permission to do it's thing.
We need another word than (administrator) for the FULL Admin
privileged. Unix has "Superuser" but even that has name usage
problems. (I got called into the "office" after someone overheard me
using "Superuser privileges". What I did was superused as ME from a
coworkers terminal to give them temporary rights to MY directory)
Superuser can mean as ROOT or as a specified user.
I find it ironic that it has taken Microsoft 20+ years to get to
something the earliest versions of Unix had.
