Default Windows 8.1 user accounts, you have GOT to be kidding.

The point is that if you have an administrator account,

stupid to keep that account open? Administrator account
aka the first account ever created on any new windows XP,
Windows 7 or Windows8 system, is always an administrator
account or a member of Admin group. Why do you
keep it open? Explain to us

I think the OP was referring to a "hidden" admin account, which many
users wouldn't know about, or even expect.

Rod.

Even if they knew about it, it is impossible to activate it without an
Administrator account!! The administrator account that can activate a
hidden Admin account is the first user account you create when you
install Windows for the first time. This first account SHOULD ALWAYS be
password protected. If you don't then you can't blame anybody except
yourself or whoever helped you to install Windows.

Even top brands systems from DELL or HP which comes with Windows
pre-installed should be password protected when you set them up for the
first time. DELL expects you to insert a password and I know this
because I buy DELL machines quite a lot.
