    changing admin while the admin account is locked


    need help changing my pc to this account for admin as its the second time my account has been locked for no reason i dont play on xbox products anymore nor will i again after this has been done. and it seems i cant even manage my computer without it telling me that im account locked. which i know of i changed phone providers so don't have my old phone number and i was game sharing with my nephew but hes unable to play the games i have when my account is unlocked so it is extremely a hassle that should just have been there originally.

    :)
