    how do I get control of my computer back?

    Santosh_Rai had a very good answer. I set up a local account with admin privileges. Now I have two accounts on my computer and I am attempting to
    find all my documents under the local account with the admin privileges. I think it will work out. Too bad
    that setting up a Microsoft account automatically adds a password protected admin account without any warning.

    Local Account to Admin Account - Admin Unavailable

    I was hoping to do this, but can't get to the elevated command prompt because when it pops up the admin box, I only see the "NO" and not the "YES" with an option to put in the admin password. Any way to bypass this?
