Windows 10: User account switch

Hello,
I have set up a new Microsoft account for my son and added him to my Family account to enable him to use the home PC. Whilst using my laptop to change some of his account details and restrictions, I have somehow assigned his Microsoft account to my laptop user profile. I am the only user on my laptop but now when I switch it on, it has his Microsoft account picture and whilst all of his account restrictions are in place, it is my laptop setup - my desktop, browser (including bookmarked sites) and all of my documents and photos etc.
Can someone please suggest what I should do to switch back to signing in with my own Microsoft account.
Thank you.

:)

My admin account switched to a user account!


My account may have gotten corrupt in the update, Don't know for sure.
I do know this, This mess is way above my paygrade...LOL...
I really need some help to try to fix this issue.
The attachments can explain far better than me trying type what exactly is going on.
All I can say it's looks pretty darn complicated to me.
I hoping it looks worse than it is.




















I think the simplest way to address this is to make my account an administrator again.
If it can be done, I'm going to need a step by step on how to do it.
Let me know what you all think...Thanks...
