Windows 10: My single account on Windows 10 does not have admin

So I have only one user account on Windows 10 and I don't have admin on that user. I tried to change that with the netplwiz code in the command prompt but it didn't let me get in since I don't have admin I can't click the yes button when the 'Do you want this app to make changes to your device?' pops up. The yes button just simply disappears. To be clear the Family & Other users option in settings does not appear. So my only question is, how can I make my account admin?

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.
