Windows 10: I need help access to my files using Administrator sign in.

I am 74 yrs old. I have worked on and owned computers all my adult life, Right now I own a Asus Notebook computer. I have it about 6 years. I've never had to call them for any problems until now. That is to reset my password. They have been working on this since the end of March, Now they want to charge me $84.00 which I am not going to pay because over the years I have reset so many passwords usually take 5-10 mins and free. Anyway lately I have been signing in as Administrator but I cannot access all my files. Can you help me? I do taxes and I am in trouble please.Thank YouDianne

Cannot sign in as Administrator anymore ... help please?

I have a big problem? I was getting this looping when I tried to update Windows home 10 so I looked at the help and one of the options was as follows

• Type: regedit in Start > Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList;
• Backup your registry key in case of any unexpected error (with ProfileList highlighted, click File and Export and choose a backup name);
• Scan through the ProfileList IDs and delete any with ProfileImagePath found in it as it shouldn’t be there;
• Close regedit, reboot and the Windows 10 reboot loop error will be removed.

I exported the file as a backup and not thinking left it in My Docs on the C Drive. I booted and now cannot sign in as administrator so therefore can not access the backup file to import them back.

I would like to be able to sign back as administrator so I can access my stuff. Can anybody help please?
