Windows 10: Admin on my computer is incorrect.

I recently replaced a lot of the parts in my computer so I had to reset everything. I had my dad sign into Microsoft so I could get some of our games on it. Now when I go into settings it says the main account is my dad's email. This is my computer and I would like to change that. It is under the setting email and accounts. I couldn't find a fix for this because they all say to go under family and other users. I am the only user of my PC the admin account is just incorrect.

admin password?

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
