    make myself admin again


    I am the only user on this Windows 10 desktop computer. To solve a booting up problem I changed myself from admin to standard user and no longer need to boot up as administrer and can see my normal files. However, now It seems impossible to do some things and I am unable to get into anything to change myself back to administrator. There is no place to type in a password (which I don't think I ever created) in answer to questions about "do I want to allow microsoft to make changes to this computer?" just a "No" bar. In CMD only myself as user appears - C:\users\babsb> I am told in CMD "system error 5 has occurred" "access denied".


    I am guessing that there no longer is an administrator on my computer, so, what can I do?

    :)

    make myself admin again

    running DOS as ADMIN

    I assume you don't have 'exit' anywhere in your batch file?

    Rather than playing with 'pause' - if you want to see the output...

    1. Open a command window as admin
    2. Run the batch file manually
    3. Command window will not close unless the 'exit' command is issued
    4. Read output
    That's the first step I'd take to diagnose. Then run every line in your batch file manually, one-by-one, in your admin command window (copy and paste from the actual batch file, don't retype the commands).

    You'll soon find your problem.
