    Lost administrative rights, bitlocker problem


    Unfortunately it has happened that I lost the administrative rights on my computer and now I have only a user account. I am unable to retrieve this default administrator account due to the lack of privileges. All troubleshooting methods I tried to use failed because the drive has Bitlocker protection enabled, which is denying my access to change settings.

    Please help me to get back my administrative rights or suggest what I can do to fix the problem. Thank you guys

    :)

    Lost Administrative Rights

    Help me to retrieve my administrative right on the PC. I don’t know how it’s happened but I lost my administrative right. When I launch the system I find only two user accounts and no administrative. This
    default administrative is disabled and
    I cannot enable it on my device because of lack of privileges. When I tried to fix this issue I found that the drive has Bitlocker protection enabled which denies
    accessing to change settings

    Lost Administrative Rights

    Hi Ana, Greg is here (an Independent advisor).

    I suggest that you access your BitLocker password. To unlock it use the BitLocker recovery key and try to boot the computer into safe mode. However it will not get the administrative rights back. Follow the link to the article >

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/402618...

    The default administrator account can be enabled only if you have administrative rights. Thus I can recommend that you try the only option that is to install Windows from the boot menu. It is custom installation that can allow you to save your personal files,
    but the applications would be removed and you need to reinstall them.

    The following link will help you to perform Custom Installation of Windows:
