    Admin Deleted can't make changes


    Hello! I purchased a computer for my kid and while setting it up in Microsoft "family" made the only user standard and not an admin. Now I am stuck.2 calls to tech support with no resolution.I have tried re-installing Microsoft 11 with a USB boot, but the "run" or "yes" prompt is unavailable. Only the "no" for not trusting the install.I tried accessing the built in admin through the CMD prompt but it won't let me run as an admin...again only the "no" appears. Is there any way to proceed and gain admin access? Thanks

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Admin Deleted can't make changes

    Go Back Windows 7 - error - must delete admin account

    HI

    Again I appreciate your effort to assist - but sadly again this does not solve my situation

    I have time left on my 30 days - the return to windows 7 option is working but stops at the point of getting ready telling me I have to delete the Admin account (I apparently created this as a part of the upgrade process)

    None of the instructions given allow me to - I have deleted the account in the family & other users section

    There is no option to delete the admin account (that I can see)

    I was given these as alternative suggestions - but they don't work either

    Method 2

    Please go to the registry editor and do the following steps:

    • Click +, to open run command. Type "regedit" and click enter.
    • Create a back of the registry. Click on Hkey and go to the File Tab, press Export and save it to your desired your location.
    • Go to the provided path HKey_LocalMachine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList.
    • In the profile list you will find a few SID's please find the one related to the deleted user account and delete it.
    To know which sid is related to the User Account you wish to delete just go to a particular S-1-5series and on the right side look for ProfileImagePath, you will notice c:/users/User_Account_Name.

    - when I highlight the account the delete button is greyed out

    Method 3:

    If you have enabled Built in admin account, please follow the steps below to disable Built in admin.



    • Press Windows + X key.
    • From the jump menu select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type net user administrator /active:no and hit enter.
