This site was recommended to me but nothing on it works on W-7 HomePremium.

Method 2:Using Local Security Policy

Another way of activating the administrator account in Windows 7 is via
Local Security Policy.

* Type secpol.msc in the search bar and hit enter.
* After the Local Security Policy pops up, navigate to Local Policies->
Security Options
* You can see an entry that reads Accounts: Administrator account.
* Double click the entry to enable it.

~~~~~~~

When secpol.msc is put in the search bar and I hit enter on W-7, I get "No
items match your search." No "Local Security Policy" pops up.

It's because your using Home Premium. This is a feature of WIn7 Pro or
above.

OK... so now I hope it can be seen where some of the confusion comes from.
Those who write these websites and give information should have it boldly
stated that their information is NOT for certain versions of W-7. Or is
only for certain versions. I saw no such information there. I wasted a lot
of time trying to follow his advice.
