Lost all Administrator permission

needhelptoday said:

Hello,

I have lost all my administrator permission. I have two profiles but both profiles are standard. I have tried every option that were listed on existing forums. Every option leads me to a pop-up screen stating I have no permission. Are there any other recommendations?

Hi needhelptoday and welcome to the forum. Give this a try.

Hello SoFine409,
First of all, thank you for your assistance. I have tried every option and had no success. I have no access to command prompt (admin). I have no access to run the recovery software.

what happens when you search for CMD in the search box and hit return?

Then you have to use Option Five in the tutorial: Enable or Disable Built-in Administrator in Command Prompt at Boot. That is, you boot to Advanced Startup from an install or a recovery usb, and if you don't have one, see the tip at the top of Option Five...

Tip
If you don't have a Windows 10 installation USB or recovery drive, then you can use OPTION SIX here to boot to Advanced Startup

If you haven't already fixed this then this procedure will walk you through doing so - If the Admin prompt has a greyed out or missing Yes button but no password entry box, use the Built-In Admin account in Safe mode to create two new Admin accounts. I will use any questions / issues you raise in my imminent review of the article.

Ha, ha, Denis! ( @Try3 ) You're too fast: having just read about your posting of this info to the Forums, I was just going to find that link and add it here. But you've already done this, sir. Good job!
