Windows 10: No Administrator Rights On The PC Windows 10

I was forced to Restore my desktop HP running Win 10 earlier today. When the restoration was complete, I found I'd lost my Administrator Privileges. And no matter what I've tried, I can't get them back, because, from the looks of it, I need Admin Privileges to retrieve my lost Admin Privileges; I've followed the instructions I've seen on at least half a dozen websites including this one, and all the same, and at every turn, I'm stopped; I end up getting a variation of the picture below which is from my attempt to install driver software from a disk:





As you can see, the only choice is No.


I can't create another account because I'm not given that option when I try. I restarted with the Space Bar depressed, and when I tried Recovery, I got this: Can't open file: X\sources\recovery\Tools\HP\Rita-tool\. I can't even completely Restore my computer, because, again, I need Admin Privileges to do it see below.





I'd appreciate any help on this. At this point, all I want to do is completely Restore the computer and start over, but if I can avoid that, I'll take it.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
