How to Recover Administrative Rights on Windows 10.

Original Title: How to Recover Administrative Rights

My teenage son found a way to take away the administrative rights on my account for Windows 10.

He won't grant them back to me and I need to have access. His account is still active and has the administrative rights. Of course he isn't going to help with this so I need some community support.

Any help you can give a single working mom trying to study for her college degree would be most appreciated!
