Simple solution with other administrator rights accounts on the computer

The easiest correction method is possible if you have the opportunity to log in to the system under a different user who has administrator rights in Windows 10 (if there is no such possibility, you can immediately go to the next method). In this case, the steps will look like this:

1. Go to the system under another administrator account (as a rule, the selection of accounts is available in the lower left corner on the login screen).
2. Run the command prompt on behalf of the administrator. To do this, you can use the search in the Windows 10 taskbar: We recruit the "command line" and either select "Run from the administrator" in the menu on the right, or by pressing the right mouse button on the result found and select the desired item.
3. In the command prompt, enter the command Net User. And press ENTER. A list of user names will be displayed. You need the username for which the "Your Account is disabled. Contact your system administrator, "use it in the next team.

In this situation, the following method can help.

Additional methods to correct the problem

If previous options did not help solve the problem "Your Account is disabled", the following solutions are possible.

Using recovery points

In the presence of system recovery points, sometimes they can help solve problems with the entry into accounts. Try to use recovery points in the following methods:

1. On the login screen, click on the power button on the right below and holding the SHIFT, click "Restart".
2. In the recovery environment, go to "Troubleshooting" - "Advanced Parameters" - "System Restore". If you are asked to choose the user at the next stage, and only the Administrator will be available, select it and not enter any password, just click "Continue". If there are recovery points, use them.
3. If the previous steps have not allowed to go to the beginning of the system recovery (for example, the password is still required, but unknown), you can use the boot disk or bootable USB flash drive (you need to create somewhere on another computer) - boot from it.
4. After downloading from the flash drive and selecting a language on the second screen, click "Restore System", and then just follow the recovery from the recovery points (Username and password will not be administered).

If this method did not solve the problem or the recovery point, there is another way to enable the disconnected administrator account using the Windows 10 boot flash drive ( Attention: Theoretically, the steps described may result in undesirable consequences):

1. Load your computer or laptop from the Windows 10 boot flash drive and in the installation program, press SHIFT + F10 (or SHIFT + FN + F10 on some laptops). The command line opens. In it, enter the regedit and press ENTER.
2. In the operating registry editor, highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE , then in the menu, select "File" - "Load a bush".
3. Load file. C: \ Windows \ System32 \ Config \ Sam From your system and set a downloaded to the bush any name (different from those that already exist in the registry, for example, offline, then I will use it with it).
4. Go toHKey_Local_machine \ Offline \ Sam \ Domains \ Account \ Users \ 000001F4
5. On the right side of the registry editor, double-click the parameter named F.

   

6. In the window that opens in line 38, delete the first value 11 and replace it with 10 (double click on 11 in the specified string - one pressing delete or backspace, input 10), click OK.

   

7. Select the registry key with the name you want (offline in my case), then select "File" in the menu - "unload bush" and confirm the unloading.

After these steps, you will restart the computer: now the built-in administrator account must be enabled, and you can log in to work or, better, to create a regular Windows 10 account instead of the available built-in system.
