2 Easy Ways to Get Administrator Privileges on Windows 10 Without Password

Method 1. Get Administrator Privileges with built-in Administrator Account

If you do not already know, your Windows computer actually comes with a default admin account on it. This account is hidden by default but you can unhide and use it to access admin rights.

• Press the Windows + X keys at the same time and then select Command Prompt (Admin) from the newly opened menu on your screen.

  

• When a Command Prompt window launches, type in the following command and press Enter.
