Windows 10: changed account type to standard , now access denied

Hi, bought 2nd hand notebook with win 10. Wanted to change settings, "no password login screen" and "change power options". I could change that but the login screen kept coming.

I had the idea that another account was overruling. so I did net user administrator / active:yes. then I saw 2 accounts "admin" and "mine". I could not change type from first one, so i changed mine to standard.

active: no and restarted, login screen still came and ones logged in I could not do any setting everything "ACCESS DENIED" if ask for "you want to make changement ? there is no YES button, run as administrator = access denied.

When I restart I see 2 accounts "DELL" and "mine" no matter what i choose it opens my account. Ones I could change from my microsoft account to local account. i did not need to put password to login but desktop was the same and also denied everything
netplwiz denied put user into administrator group denied ...

What can I do
Thanks

:)

Ok try this.... go to Settings > Accounts > Family & Other Users

Click on Add someone else to this PC
Give the account a name, a password, and fill out the three security questions.
When that's done, you will have a new standard account.
Click on change account type or w/e it says, and change that account to an Administrator account.

Then log off your account and onto the new account you just made.
On the new account you will have administrator privileges, and be able to change YOUR REAL account to administrator.



Then log off the new account, log onto YOUR REAL account and delete the account you created to do all this.

Hi Ghot,
thanks for your reply,
I did the net localgroups ... members were always empty

/add to administrators gave "access denied"

elevated cmd you mean 'run as administrator' ? can not --> "access denied"

- - - Updated - - -

Hi Ghot,

"Enable the built in administrator account" if I want to uncheck administrator "account is disabled " then I get "access denied"

"net user administrator /activate:yes" gives "access denied"

"Manage another account" gives "access denied"


BIG PROPLEM :-(
