Windows 10: Windows 11 “ Your account has been disabled. Please see your system administrator”

While trying to find ways for my games to not be blocked by permissions or my anti-virus, I accidentally locked myself off my only account on my laptop. I tried various methods such as using safe mode, but I couldn’t find anything relating to my account there, or using the cmd prompt by using the code “net user Administrator /active:yes” and now I’m extremely lost since I’m not even that tech savy. I’d like some help on this if at all possible and any would come greatly appreciated.

i disable my administrator account

Here is the correct way to do such things:

• Create a spare admin account, same as you ask the locksmith to cut a spare house key.
• Test the spare account, same as you would test the spare house key.
• Promote your account to admin level.
• Test your account.
• Disable the Administrator account.

By taking Step 5 as the first step, you painted yourself into a corner. You must now ask a friend to create a bootable Windows Repair flash disk, using the command RecoveryDrive.exe. Use it to boot your machine into Windows Repair Mode, then use System Restore
to set Windows back to a point then the Administrator account was active.

• Now, type in your user account password and once Command prompt opens follow the next steps.
• In Command Prompt type "net user administrator /active:yes".
• Close Command prompt and restart your system.
• Login to the built-in administrator (you don't need a password for built-in admin account) and try to enable your disable User Account.
• Its recommended to create another admin User Account.
• Once you have enabled your user account, kindly disable built in admin account.
• type the following command in elevated command prompt: net user administrator /active:no
