I dont think you can disable it completly. Help files says :
The Administrator account can never be deleted, disabled, or removed from the
Administrators local group, ensuring that you never lock yourself out of the
computer by deleting or disabling all the administrative accounts. This feature
sets the Administrator account apart from other members of the Administrators
local group.
