    Restore Administrator rights to manage another account

    Hi,


    Thank you for your reply.



    I suggest you to enable the built in Administrator account, then creating another account - which finally will let you have access to the machine again.

    I suggest you to refer the steps below and check if it helps


    • Press Windows+ X, select
      Command Prompt
      , and then click Run as Administrator.

    • When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.

    • At the command prompt, type net user administrator /active: yes, and then press Enter.

    • Type net user administrator
      <Password>
      , and then press Enter.

      Note In this command, <Password> represents the actual password that you want to set for the administrator account.

    • Type exit, and then press Enter.

    • Log off the current user account. And login and check the are you able to open the files


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    i disable my administrator account

    Here is the correct way to do such things:

    • Create a spare admin account, same as you ask the locksmith to cut a spare house key.
    • Test the spare account, same as you would test the spare house key.
    • Promote your account to admin level.
    • Test your account.
    • Disable the Administrator account.
    By taking Step 5 as the first step, you painted yourself into a corner. You must now ask a friend to create a bootable Windows Repair flash disk, using the command RecoveryDrive.exe. Use it to boot your machine into Windows Repair Mode, then use System Restore
    to set Windows back to a point then the Administrator account was active.
