Windows 10: A new user appeared on my computer and something changed with my administrators System,...

I was trying to delete a file and it said I didn't have enough permissions, eventually I figured out the issue and solved it by changing a setting in my bitdefender antivirus. Now there's a separate issue, when I boot up my computer to sign in, there's a new user called "Administrator", and when I checked it in control panel, I couldn't delete it. When I go to a file and check in a properties tab it says "LAPTOP-POMEJCRQ/Administrators" instead of just "Administrator", and on top of that my device name used to be in the user account I was using "Azmyuth Alright", before it was "LAPTOP-POMEJCRQ

Changing System Administrator after Initial Setup of new Computer

Hi Elby,


I do appreciate your efforts and time, and will assist you with the issue.



I suggest you to create a new user account and change it to admin account.



Method 1

• 
  Press WinKey+ Q, type
  user accountsand click on the result.
  
• 
  Then select your User Account > Click Manage another account.
  
• 
  In the following window, click Add a user account option.
  
• 
  Now we have to create a local account user. So after clicking
  Add an account, click Sign in without a Microsoft account (Not recommended), then clickLocal account. Fill the details on the screen so appeared for adding local account. Click
  Finish when done.
  
• 
  Press Windows Key + Q and type
  cmd, for the search results, click Command Prompt. Type following command and hit
  Enter key: shutdown /r /o
  
• 
  The previous step will result your system to boot into
  Safe Mode. After getting into Safe Mode, press
  Windows Key + Q, type user accounts, and pick the same from results so appear. You would have now two accounts on your system; first you’re issued admin account and second the local account which you’ve
  created in step 2. Select local account.
  
• 
  Now click Change the account type link in following window:
  
• 
  Moving on, change the account status from
  Standard to Administrator. Click
  Change Account Type.
  

In this way, the new local account we’ve created has been changed to Administrator. Now you can restart your machine and log into this account with administrator rights. Since you have administrative privileges now; so you can back up your documents
from the old administrator account.



Finally, delete the old admin account and switch to Microsoft account to synchronize your settings with new administrative account. Your system will now act normally with full admin rights in your hand.



Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
