Re: Lost admin account

You cannot make yourself an administrator if there is no account to elevate.

Boot in safe mode, i.e. as the administrator then go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts and create a new account with administrative privileges. Don’t use the same name as the previous one.

Reboot normally to the new account and, if they are important and still present, copy the documents from the old account to the new one.

To bypass login, go to Start > Run, type “control userpasswords2” (type the space but not the quotes) and press Enter then untick “Users must enter ......”.
