    All of a sudden I can only read&execute even though im on admin account


    Hi,Just tried to change a file but realized that all of a sudden I dont have any permission to change files in C. Only user folders.Read&execute only now through normal user version of my account. When I check my account setting>account>info or try to add through cmd it says its already administrator.How do I get my admin permissions and control back again without having to add permissions to the normal account? Gus

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Im such an idiot

    If it's a dell laptop and there is an admin account that is only listed in safe mode the password maybe DELL (default dell admin password).

    All of a sudden I can only read&execute even though im on admin account

    How to change admin user account name?

    ah so main admin account is 'wizzle' which is what I am currently on
    I make another account called 'wizzle2' (with admin rights)
    I sign out of 'wizzle' and sign into 'wizzle2'.
    And once signed into 'wizzle2', then I do the command prompt step and find the SID for 'wizzle' that is listed and go from there?
