Windows 10: what icacls command gives administrative privileges in command prompt to use with DISM?

I was using System restore with windows 10 when it crashed, all I can access now is the blue screens with the last one giving me the option of Advanced and on that Command Prompt. I cannot get anything else to work at all and its looking bleak. I have seen that the icacls command can give Administrative privileges but can't get the format right. Then I want to try DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth


After that I want to scan so will try sfc /scannow


I am hoping this will replace the corrupt files in the registry. But anyone out there have a better idea and I will try it.


Thanks Lyn

command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?

I am repairing a laptop for a friend and I need to access windows in safe mode and the owner has forgotten the password to the main user. I tried logging on with the administrator profile in safe mode but it is not showing up so I was going to use command prompt in safe mode with command prompt but command prompt will not open when I boot that option. Does anyone have any hints for me to figure this out?

Command prompt is only accessible from the Administrative Profile, this is to prevent general users from accessing and bypassing controls.
One method is to remove the drive and connect it to another system.
