Administrative rights

I have tried the suggestions listed on
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/administrator-rights/8523fd5c-5197-4eac-a174-bb20b522cad2 with no luck. I might have locked myself out in the endless ways of trying to resolve this issue.

Thank you,
