Double check to make sure that you have a password added for your account.
Change Password of Account in Windows 10 - Windows 10 User Accounts Tutorials
Just to verify, your account is not listed at the bottom left corner on the sign-in screen like below?
It's not showing on the bottom left....I am still asked for my password when making admin changes, even though I can't sign in
i created a new user account test as admin and this doesn't show up either
Odd. Let's see what it shows for you account details using the tutorial below to see if the accounts are listed.

I see a "Dad", "Ryan", and "test" account that should be listed, and a "reddw" account as degraded.
It looks like your "reddw" may be disabled. Check using the tutorial below to make sure it is enabled.
Enable or Disable Account in Windows 10 - Windows 10 User Accounts Tutorials
In that case, you could use the method below to delete the "reddw" account to remove it if you have another administrator account to use. Don't delete your "reddw" account if you don't.

Are the other "Dad", "Ryan", and "test" accounts listed in netplwiz?
If able, post a screenshot to show your sign-in screen.
the reddw account is not listed in any of your options.....also deleted test.....screenshot of netplwiz
From your screenshot, you should have the "Dad" and "Ryan" account available to sign-in to. I don't see any reason so far for why you only have the "Ryan" account available.
One last thing to look at is to see if the "Dad" account's SID key ("S-1-5-21...1104") is listed in the registry key below like the screenshot below.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
