Windows 10: I now have no Admin a/c

Windows10 Home 1903


The last time I had to reinstall Windows it created an admin account with my nickname, but I actually sign in with my Microsoft a/c. Hence, whenever I rebooted I got "wrong password" and had to click OK, when the two a/cs would show up in the bottom left of the screen and I could sign in with Microsoft a/c.

(It happened once before and I fixed it with guidance from here, but this time... I must have done stoopid things when stressed out, which is nearly all the time!)

In netplwiz I think I must have removed the Microsoft a/c because I was still left with the nickname a/c, but everything was OK because I could carry on as before having to go thru log-on twice, and I don't reboot very often. However, the other day I got fed up with it and went into netplwiz and made the nickname a standard user instead of admin - and now I can't even install a program etc etc because I've got no admin powers, and I can't reverse the nickname a/c to be admin again, can't even access netplwiz without the password for the nickname - which I don't remember ever setting.

I know this is garbled but honestly I can't do any better, am under so much pressure. Please assist.
