Windows 10: How do I remove a dead domain and restore or create admin rights?

This work from home pc was gifted to me when company closed their doors. Due to the domain remaining on my pc I am unable to sign in as admin to update software or make changes due to domain being killed. Thanks,Scott

admin rights keep disappearing!?!!

Hi guys,

I am actually having a problem at work that our IT department hasn't been able to figure out. I am supposed to be a member of the admin group. We are on a domain. The problem is that everytime I reboot the computer I loose my admin rights(no longer in the administrator group) and just become a normal user again. I have tried googling this and didn't get to many results.
I believe IT is just giving me local admin rights, not admin rights for the whole domain.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: It is on Windows XP Pro.

 

Local Admin Rights Removed

Hi Primne,

For better assistance, we would like to know more information about your concern.

• When did the last time that you have access the computer with Admin rights?
• Who removed the Admin rights on your computer?
• Does the computer connected on a domain or workgroup settings?

You can try to check the User Accounts and make sure that the computer is in Administrator account type.

• Press Windows key+X and select Control Panel.
• Click User Account.
• Make sure that the computer is set to be in Administrator.
  

We are looking forward to your response.

Regards.

 

Local Admin Rights Removed

Hi Ma. Lau,

Sorry for the late response to your email, here's the additional information you've requested;

• When did the last time that you have access the computer with Admin rights? -->
  Dec 22, 2016
• Who removed the Admin rights on your computer? --> Another person who played around the laptop's settings
• Does the computer connected on a domain or workgroup settings? --> No, this is just a personal laptop with one local account.

User accounts says not an Administrator account. Is there a way I can put it back without reinstalling win 10? I can't make any changes on the laptop.

Thank you for your response to this concern, I appreciate it!

Regards,

Prime
