When setting up and creating the first Windows 10 configuration, the first account you create will be an Administrator account.

If you are accidentally restricted, locked or forgotten for your Administrator account password, using the available Administrator account can be a favor for your archives, but only if you have enabled it now. when you need admin privileges to enable or disable . If that is the purpose you are using, you should still create a separate standard Administrator account rather than using the widely known Administrator account.

It is mainly for OEM system builders who want to edit the system before out of experience box (OOBE - Complete installation experience). If it is not you then it will be difficult to find a reason to use the built-in Administrator account.
