    Can't get admin privileges back


    So I really messed up here. Long story short, I went into the netplwix application and changed the permissions on the built in administrator, disabling it. I then went and changed the main user, myself, to the very top option. I think was the device owner or something of the sort. Not knowing it doesn't have administrator privileges. I've searched through as many forums as I could but couldn't find any answer, except reinstalling windows entirely. Another wrench in the situation is that I cannot log into my Microsoft account on the computer instead of being on the local user without the wind

    you get admin privileges, or you don't run VPC.

    Need help with Admin privileges

    That's what puzzles me, I am logged-in as (my username) but still won't give me admin privileges. I checked under control panel/users amd it shows me as a local account. Tried to right click on CMD prompt but the "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" doesn't show up
