Windows 10: I can't change my account back to Admin

So this morning I allegedly performed a dumb decision to radically change my personal account to standard and I can't really go back and I tried switching it to admin again... Also, I had to frantically search for 4 terrible hours on how to fix this and there were no tutorials on how to even fix this critical problem so I pretty much need help ASAP! (I can still install and delete files for some reason)

:)

 

How to change admin user account name?


ah so main admin account is 'wizzle' which is what I am currently on
I make another account called 'wizzle2' (with admin rights)
I sign out of 'wizzle' and sign into 'wizzle2'.
And once signed into 'wizzle2', then I do the command prompt step and find the SID for 'wizzle' that is listed and go from there?

 

Remove account


I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
   
   Code:

   net user test /del
