How can we enable person profile?

How can we enable person profile?
Can someone guide me step by step i have done these 3 steps but stuck in 4th one. 

"Important: To use Person Accounts, your org must meet the following requirements.
There's at least one record type for accounts.
Users that have read permission on accounts have read permission on contacts.
Organization-wide default sharing is set so that Contact is “Controlled by Parent” or Account and Contact is “Private”.
If profile filtering is enabled, the View All Profiles permission is required.
After you've met these requirements, we'll provide information on how to finish enabling Person Accounts. "

Hi Taha,

Are you referring to OWD settings?

Setup-->Quick Find--> Sharing settings (Organization-Wide Defaults).

This one :If profile filtering is enabled, the View All Profiles permission is required.

Navigate to Setup-->Quick Find--->User Management Settings,  you can check 'Profile Filtering' permission.

Once you check this navigate to Profile detail page and enable 'View All Profiles' permission.

Hi Taha Haider,

Make sure you meet the following prerequisites.
The account object has at least one record type.
User profiles that have read permission on accounts have read permission on contacts.
The organization-wide default sharing is set so that either Contact is Controlled by Parent or both Account and Contact are Private.
From Setup, enter Account Settings in the Quick Find box, and then select Allow Customer Support to enable Person Accounts.
We’ll verify your org meets the prerequisites, then send you an email with additional information. If you don’t see a message verifying you meet the prerequisites, go back to step 1.
Contact Salesforce Customer Support by logging a case to enable Person Accounts.
Refer to the email we sent about what to include in the case.
After Person Accounts is enabled, a person account record type is created. You can create additional record types for person account if needed.
Assign the person account record type to user profiles.

Hi vinay I cant find this in profiles,can you guide in complete steps.
VinayVinay (Salesforce Developers) 
Click on Setup-->Quick Find-->Profiles--->Custom profile name.

Under  'Administrative Permissions' you will find this checkbox.

Use system admin profile to navigate the above steps.

Hope this helps...

Exact name is Custom profile name? 
VinayVinay (Salesforce Developers) 
No, it's the profile name that you are using.  If you are not aware of how to check Setup-->Quick Find-->Users-->Taha Haider.  On the detail page, you will see the profile name.

Check if the above permission is enabled or no.

I am using sys admin profile  so ,Click on Setup-->Quick Find-->Profiles--->System administrator. But in that there is no "Administrative Permissions".
VinayVinay (Salesforce Developers) 
If you are a system admin then 'View All Profiles' will be enabled and you can ignore it.

okay,but then why i cant enable person profile?
VinayVinay (Salesforce Developers) 
You might have missed or skip try to re-check.

Also, Person Accounts are not enabled by default in Salesforce, but can be enabled by Salesforce Support if you make a request.
