## Default Users
25+
26+
DataMiner has one built-in user, named "Administrator". This user is also the local administrator on the Windows server hosting DataMiner. This user is intended for recovery and initial configuration purposes. Once the system is configured and Operator users have been created, we recommend disabling the local Administrator user on the DataMiner server.

28+
To **disable** the local Administrator user:
29+
30+
1. Open a PowerShell console as administrator.
31+
32+
1. Execute the following command:
33+
34+
`Get-LocalUser Administrator | Disable-LocalUser`

To **enable** the local Administrator user:

`Get-LocalUser Administrator | Enable-LocalUser`
