Windows 10: Windows 10 disabled admin account

hello

I have a lenovo laptop with the TMP chip and bitlocker.

I had a admin account on the domain but i took the laptop off the domain, did not realise that the local administrator account is disabled.

So now i can only login to the laptop with a standard account. Is there a way to enable administrative rights on the laptop again. I cannot join the PC back to the domain it says access denied in powershell.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
many thanks in advance.

Use admin account with admin rights disabled

Create a new standard user account the guest account is limited.

 

Use admin account with admin rights disabled

To prevent unwanted changes by my self or others do I want to create a guest account which I will use as my main account. I did and on one computer windows can even load one of the profiles. On the computer where I can create a guest account which works
do I need to setup a lot of programs which are not available for the guest (like my browser or my onedrive linked to the email on the admin account ect). So I thought, is it possible to use the admin account but with admin rights disabled and when you need
admin right you re-enter the password?

(Or does somebody has an idea how I can use the onedrive linked to the admin account and how I can assign already installed programs to guest accounts?)

Greetings,

Hi Upen Desai and welcome to Tenforums.

Please have a read of this tutorial.
Administrator account - Enable or Disable in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Once you get the hidden Admin account enabled, you'll be able to change your user account from standard to admin. Then please remember to hide the Admin account when you're finished. *Smile

 

Hi

Thank you for coming back to me, i have explored all the options you have suggested, but in each instance i an asked to do the task with elevated privileges. The only active account on this laptop is the standard user, which is what i use to login with.

I hope this makes sense.

The problem is that you have no admin account with which to perform the task. However, Option 4 in the tutorial does give you a work around but you have to boot from USB or DVD media in order to open an elevated command prompt. The links in option 4 show you how to create bootable media if you do not have any.

 

Yes, you need to do this via option #4. That's your only possibility.
