Windows 10: How can I reset the admin privileges from a secondary account that doesn't have admin access?

Hello to anyone who is reading this, I hope you're having a great day/evening/night.I encountered a problem where my laptop shutoff due to low battery, once I turned on my laptop I found out that my account alongside the admin account PINs had been resetted.I managed to restore my account's PIN and password but I couldn't manage for the other account.The laptop was owned by my mother who used it before for her job, later into the future she had left her job and lended me the laptop with her account still on it. I used her account for a while until I decided to create another account on the lap

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

Virtual Machine on a flash Drive without admin privileges

so... no go for vpc without admin privileges ?

 

Admin accounts

Yes.

An admin, if they try to browse the user folder of any other user (standard or admin) will be told they don't have access, but will be offered permanent access if they wish by clicking Continue. You won't accidentally stumble across her files, but you could look for them if you were determined. Can she trust you (or can you trust yourself) not to click Continue?

Even signed in as an admin, most of the time you are running processes or apps as a standard user anyway. Only when you try to do something that requires admin rights will you be asked (as in the folder example above) if you want to use your admin privileges. The 'harm' would be if you click 'Yes' on a UAC prompt before taking the time to think about what it is that you'd be allowing to run.
