Given that 7 is built off of Vista, it’s pretty damned likely. That said, I haven’t tried it myself.

You should never use an account without a password. If you need one without a PW use the built in guest account.

Hi there Paul,
I have a couple of questions regarding this method you’ve posted and would appreciate if you took the time to answer them.

First off, how likely is it that this solution would work on Windows7?

Secondly,
c:\>net user S00perAdmin mypassword /add
Written like that, i assume the name of the account would be S00perAdmin followed by my password of choice – however can I just ignore typing a password to leave it without one? ( and is it always “localgroup administrators” or may it differ depending on region? )

Really appreciate you wrote this guide, hoping you’ll answer my questions aswell,
Lenny.

You’d have both accounts. There is no issue with a Windows machine having multiple administrator accounts.

if you create a new Admin account, what will happen to the old Admin account? Does that mean that there will be two Administrator accounts? Please reply ASAP. Thanks

This step-by-step instruction is incomplete. It leaves a copy of cmd.exe as utilman.exe and the hotkeys will continue to provide a system privilege command shell at the secure desktop login screen. It’s like a security/firedoor with multiple deadbolt locks (and a master key under the welcome mat).
