Problem resetting PC - no recovery image registered

Yes, need to clarify .... "reset" is a generic meaningless term.
- Windows recovery ?
- proprietary device recovery (factory default setting) ? (Absolutely NOT recommended if this was the case)
- and/or Windows repair (often confused/interchanged with "recovery" ?

How was this attempted (steps taken) ?

 

Can’t reset or turn back stuck in automatic repair, and after attempts now there is no system administrator on pc.

Hi Joseph,

It is possible that there is an issue with the system files of Windows 10. If you're unable to recover your computer using the different options in the Advanced page of Windows Recovery (WinRe) environment, we suggest resetting your computer and choose either
to keep your files or remove everything. Resetting your computer will revert the system files of Windows 10 to default and it will address the "stuck in automatic repair" issue. Since you can access the Windows Recovery (WinRe) environment, you can perform
a reset by performing these steps:

• In WinRe, choose Troubleshoot.
• Select Reset this PC.
• Choose Keep my files. Please take note that the programs that you've installed will be removed. You need to re-install the programs again after the reset process.
• Wait for the reset process to finish.
• After resetting your computer, kindly observe if you will be able to log-in to the computer.

Let us know the outcome.
