Administrative account disabled
I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and wanted to get rid of the login screen password and turn off UAC because I find both of them annoying. After I tried to disable the main user password, it basically removed all permissions from my profile and I couldn't access anything that was UAC related despite it being turned off.
So I tried turning on the administrator account to fix this but when I did that I was unable to access my main user account at all (it didn't show up on the login screen, nothing).
My next thought was to turn off the admin account to gain access back on my main account (the one that still has all my windows 7 files), so I did that, and I was greeted with the screenshot below of my administrator account being locked. Every time I hit OK on that menu, it just returns to that screen. No keypress combinations seem to work except win+p to change screen settings.
I've followed a few online steps but nothing works. I'm using an SSD and it seems like every time I try to access safe mode Windows 10 just completely ignores it all together (I'm guessing it's going to fast for the f8 press to matter?).
I don't want to have to reformat because I have a lot of data on that SSD that I can't get rid of. Any help would be appreciated.
