Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator active:yes and hit enter.

When your computer comes on log into the new account that should show.

It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it.

If your computer automatically logs into your account after the restart then go to your start menu and click the arrow beside shutdown and choose switch user.
