Windows 10: Deleted the only admin account. Lost Administrator rights to my lap. Help please.

Hi,


I have disabled the built-in Administrator account, and then I accidentally changed my only admin account to Standard account in my HP Laptop. Now there is no admin account on my Windows 10. I can't install/uninstall programs or perform actions that require admin-level rights. The 'Yes' box is graved out, unable to click it. I have provided my lap's version and OS name. Help! Please.


OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language
Version : 10.0.10240 Build 10240

:)

 

Lost administrative rights & Account

Hi,

If you have another admin account you can log into that account and change the permission of the other account. If this is the only account your PC then follow the steps to change account permission to admin.

• Press Windows key + R and type netplwiz and hit Enter.
• Select the account and click on Properties.
• Under Group membership tab select Administrator and click on Apply and OK.

Hope this helps. Thank you.

 

Weird account name and lost Administrator rights.


Well, I know what I would do.

Under Settings, Accounts, Family & other users, then under Other users, add someone else to this PC. Then click the link for "the person I want to add doesn't have an email address". Then click the link for "Add a user without a Microsoft account". Then enter a temporary user name like TempAdmin. When the account appears in the Other Users list, click on it. Click change account type. Make the temporary account an Administrator.

Log in as the temporary administrator account, and copy all the files you want to keep from both the Andrius folders under Users to the temporary account's folder. Then delete whatever Andrius users are listed under settings, accounts. Go back to the Users folders and delete any remaining Andrius folders in there. Reboot the computer, log in as the temporary administrator and recreate an Andrius account using the exact same steps you made the temporary account - you can convert it to a Microsoft account if you want later.

Then do the rest of the steps to copy all your files back and delete the temporary administrator account.
