Create hidden user in Windows with Admin access. In this tutorial, we will introduce you to the Administrator access by creating a hidden user in Windows from the Windows VPS Server Training Series.
There are many ways to create hidden user in Windows. Sometimes it will help you avoid hacker attacks, but it can also be used for profit.
We explain an example of the reasons for using hidden user to find out more about its positive aspects.
For example, you have a system that, on average, several people work with, and it’s on the network. When logging in, each person must log in with their own user. Imagine that there is a username in the system that is only used through the network to transfer information or remotely to that system.
This user is constantly in front of the eyes of users and may sometimes choose it incorrectly. Users may accidentally enter their password on that user so that the user is locked for a while and is no longer available.
Now imagine that you can create a user and use it completely on the network and the Internet, but it is not displayed in the login menu and the user switch in any way.
So there are many reasons why you need to create hidden user in Windows.
