Windows 10: Regedit Error in WinRE

I am trying to turn off the built in admin by going through WinRE since the normal way lusrmgr, cmd, powershell, etc. doesn't work and I don't have admin privileges. It keeps on giving me an error where it says that the process is in use by another process. I am trying to load a hive in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and going through the \Windows\System32\config\SAM pathway. any ideas as to what process is stopping this? or maybe I'm doing something wrong, idk.P.S. plz don't tell me to reset my computer or do anything similar which would harm my files

CD drive error

1) Close all open programs
2) Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and press Enter
3) Click on the plus signs (+) next to the following folders

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
Class
{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
4) This folder is the DVD/CD-ROM Drive Class Description in the registry. Look for any of the following names in the right hand column.

UpperFilters
LowerFilters
UpperFilters.bak
LowerFilters.bak
5) If any of the above keys shown in step 4 are listed, right-click on them and choose Delete
6) After deleting the keys, close the Registry Editor
7) Reboot your computer
8) Open My Computer and check to see if your CD or DVD drives have returned. You may also want to open Device Manager and verify that the yellow exclamation and error code on the CD or DVD drive is gone.

And it likely has something to do with the emulated drive you have listed there.
