move d:\windows\system32\utilman.exe d:\windows\system32\utilman.exe.bak
copy d:\windows\system32\cmd.exe d:\windows\system32\utilman.exe

Step 4. Once the utilman.exe was replaced successfully, you need to type wpeutil command to reboot your Windows.

Step 5. After the Windows restarts, you should see a "Easy of Access" button in the login screen. Click it to open a command prompt with admin permission. Now, we can activate the super admin account by executing the following command.
