Windows 10: Can't Change Account to Admin

I just bought my computer 2 weeks ago and it came with Windows 11 already installed. My wife was the first one to log in and I guess she became the Administrator account. I got annoyed of having to use her Gmail password to sign in so I found a way to log in without using a password I made a new account. Now I'm trying to install avid pro tools but it won't let me without admin access. Problem is I don't know how to log into her original admin account, and when I try to change my account settings, it says I need admin access. Please help this is really annoying.

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?
