Windows 10: How to go back as the admin?

Hi team, we reinstalled the MS 10 Windows for a course work. Everything was smooth, however we were also playing around with administrators so we created a “privileged local user” as the admin and set it as the administrator - however whenever we access the users from the control panel, we can only find the microsoft account and not the local account. We need to download some more files and it is not letting us as the current account isn’t admin anymore and we cannot actually sign in with the admin’s credentials as it is a local user without email. We are now stuck and do not know what to do.

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

running DOS as ADMIN

I suggested that in post #4 but @bromberg doesn't seem to have tried it yet...

 

running DOS as ADMIN

I assume you don't have 'exit' anywhere in your batch file?

Rather than playing with 'pause' - if you want to see the output...

1. Open a command window as admin
2. Run the batch file manually
3. Command window will not close unless the 'exit' command is issued
4. Read output

That's the first step I'd take to diagnose. Then run every line in your batch file manually, one-by-one, in your admin command window (copy and paste from the actual batch file, don't retype the commands).

You'll soon find your problem.
