Change administrator rights of an account as current administrator account password is lost.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft community forums.

We understand you are trying to provide administrator rights to a user profile. However, We would need some more information regarding the issue.

1. May I know the operating system your machine currently running on? Please refer Which
   
   Windows operating system am I running?
   
2. Are you using Microsoft Account or local account to log into your computer?
   
3. Are there any other admin accounts?
   

If you have any other admin account on your system, you can sign into it in the login screen by clicking on that account on the bottom left corner of the screen. However, if the other user account is a standard user account,
the account cannot be converted to admin account as this action would require administrative privileges.

However, if there are no other administrator accounts on the system and you are unable to login to the only administrator account that you have, we would suggest you to refer the methods below and check if it helps you.

Methods 1: Resetting password for the local account.

If the Administrator account is a local account, you can refer the article to

Reset your Windows 10 local account password and check if it works for you.

Disclaimer: The article above contains steps to reset the device, resetting your device will permanently delete data, programs, and settings.

Method 2: Resetting the password for the Microsoft account.

If the Administrator account is a Microsoft account. You can refer the article on

How to reset your Microsoft account password and check if it works for you.

For more information, I would also suggest you to refer the article on

When you can’t sign into your Microsoft account which has information that could prove itself useful to you.

deleting administrator account w/o having password

When it asks non-admin accounts for an admin password to authorise something, it routinely suggests the last admin account used. If you click on More choices, you will see a list of admin accounts and you can just select the one you now have access to. The next time the dialog appears it will suggest that as the admin account to use to give permission to proceed.



Once you have done this and seen it all working, you can either delete her old account [after having checked her user folders to make sure there is nothing there you need] or, assuming it is a local account not an MSAccount, just reset her password then put on a new one** so that the account is available as a spare admin.

** Which you should write down.
