    I lost my administrator account in Windows 10 Home


    I had a single admin account on my new PC, a Microsoft account. I changed it to a standard account (still a Microsoft Account). Now I only have this Standard account and cannot do anything that needs admin rights.

    I tried Run > netplwiz to see if I can see the default administrator account there but it wont open as itll prompt for admin credentials (the admin credentials button is blanked too).

    No other accounts appear under control panel > accounts.

    How can I scape this and get an administrator account?

    Any help much welcome

    :)
