1. Go to Start-> All Programs -> Accessories.

2. Type "cmd" in start menu search box and press “Ctrl+Shift+Enter“ to
run the command prompt as administrator. If you are prompted to enter password, enter the password and continue.

3. Type following command in command prompt and hit Enter.
net user administrator /active:yes 

4. You should see a message that the command completed successfully. The Administrator account will be enabled. Log out, and you'll now see the Administrator account. There's no password for this account. So setup a strong password if you hope to make enable hereafter.

5. If you want to disable it again, this is the command:
net user administrator /active:no (simply replace "yes" with "no" in previous command)
