Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to enable built in administrator by following the steps below, create a new user profile and check if the issue persist.

• 
  Open a CMD window by right clicking on the Start icon, and selecting
  Command prompt (Admin).
  

• 
  Type the following command: net user administrator /active: yes
  
• 
  Login into the built in administrator user profile and create a new user profile with administrator privileges.
  
• 
  Delete the corrupted user account from the built in administrator.
  
• 
  Then lock your screen by pressing Windows key + L, and sign-in as the Administrator account.
  

Check if the issue persist and you can disable built in administrator account by typing the command: net user administrator /active: no
in the Command prompt (Admin).

To create a new user account follow the steps below:

• 
  On the Search bar type cmd and
  press ctrl + shift + Enter on the keyboard to open the Elevated
  Command Prompt.
  
• 
  Type net user NewAccount password /add and click Enter.
  
• 
  Type net localgroup Administrators NewAccount /add and click Enter.
  
• 
  Log off from the system and login to the new user account.
  

Hope this helps!

 

Administrative rights

I have tried the suggestions listed on
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/administrator-rights/8523fd5c-5197-4eac-a174-bb20b522cad2 with no luck. I might have locked myself out in the endless ways of trying to resolve this issue.

Please provide me a way that I may obtain my administrative rights on my computer again.

Thank you,

Doug
