Hello @Mrkwabs, welcome to Ten Forums.


Have you already tried the TenForums tutorial?

... I cant open command prompt or PowerShell because of S mode so I cant enable hidden admin.....

If you can't open a command prompt while signed in, then Option Five in the tutorial is the one to use. You can get a command prompt by booting from an install usb.

Use the Media Creation Tool to make one. See this tutorial.

Do you mean that it shows this?

- No request for an Admin's name & password?
- Greyed out Yes button?

If so, use this procedure [it was written for the condition you have found yourself in]

I cant download the software to get the USB because I need Administrator access to download it and I don't have administrator

You can but you do not need to***. You can fix the problem in Safe mode using the tutorial I linked you to [post #7]. I think you will be the first S Mode user to use the procedure so do post back here about any problems you get.

*** Download the ISO file using one of the other options such as TechBench, format a USB, mount the ISO, copy its contents to the USB.

Try3 has an alternative solution to your problem that should work, see post #7.
