    Admin privilages are gone, I can't do nothing because I lost administrator.

    Hi all, this forum is my last chance, please help me to find a solution!

    What's my problem.

    Tomorrow I booted my PC and I noticed that my second Admin account isn't on my PC, I went to Account settings, Googled some solution and I saw that my account is no more admin but it's a guest user account.

    I searched for some solution but everything that people say to do needs admin privilages, but I haven't it!

    I literally can't do nothing!

    I also know that there is an account with administrator privileges named
    Adiministrator, but how I login in that account?

    What I can't do.

    • I can't open CMD as Admin;
    • I can't change account settings like Account type and Others;
    • I can't open programs as Admin too;
    • I can't enable UAC settings;
    • I can't enable the hidden admin account;
    • I can't do things as Admin.
    Please help me!
