Windows 10: Managing Accounts

My wife & I share one computer with separate login accounts. We have windows 10. I am the administrator of the computer. However, recently when I go into “My Account’, it list my wife’s email account as administrator rather than my email account. When she changed her computer photo it changed mine photo to hers. However she gets my favorites listing. I have 2 Microsoft email accounts and my wife has one. Her account is listed under “Other Users” within my account. Somehow my administrator’s account has been changed to her email account. I do not want to delete her email account. Please advise how to correct the situation.
