Windows 10: I have lost ALL administrative access.

I have lost ALL administrative access. My user account only shows me as a standard user. Whenever I try to change anything, the user account control only gives me the choice of "NO". When I try to access safe mode, it only takes me to the crdsecagent$admin account and asks for a password which I do not know. I have tried running powershell in admin mode to activating the administrative account and UAC always shuts me down with the NO option. I can't do a system restore or even troubleshoot what files are corrupted Is there any way to recover my admin privilege's short of reinstalling windows

:)

Lost My Administrator Password

To which "this" are you referring?
- If you are following the tutorial Bree suggested in the very first reply to your question then what you need to do at each step is explained in detail. So which step are you at?
- If you are following a different procedure then state what it is and which step you are at. If, for example, you are trying to manually enable the Built-In Admin as suggested in post #11 then that account has no password.

net user administrator /active:no keeps saying access denied.

Hi Rebekah,

It's possible that you're not using an elevated command prompt, causing the Access Denied error. We suggest following these steps to properly disable the built-in administrator account:

• Right-click the Start button.
• Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• Copy and paste net user Administrator /active:no and press
  Enter. If the command isn't successful, please post a screenshot so that we can study it further.

Let us know if you're able to hide the administrator account after following these steps.
