Lost My Administrator Password
Hi, I've recently accidently turned my Windows computer from administrator to standard. I don't know how to change it back, there's only one user on this computer and it is mine. I've tried a few ways such as booting from startup settings, but there's a password on it and I can't access it. I don't want to purchase a CD or USB drive just to get my permissions back, and I can't boot from Safe Mode because of a password. I can't download software to reset my password because I don't have admin. This is my only computer and I'm not looking forward to getting it to tech specialists or something like that because of the pandemic. Windows Defender is on and I can't turn it off. I've tried almost everything but I haven't had success.
I'm using Windows 10 Home
