Administrator Account Problem

Oh well, all sorted now by doing a Re-Install......perhaps if I had read the replies correctly I could have made life easier.......changing to a Standard Account is not a mistake I will make again.......Thanks for the replies.........

Denis and I both recommend creating a new local account and making it an administrator. It's always useful to have more than one administrator account in case of emergencies like yours.

The method for creating a local Admin account is explained in the Clean install tutorial
Clean Install - TenForumsTutorials
and I always create two spare local Admins in addition to any that are routinely in use
my ditty - Create two spare local, password-protected Admin accounts [post #2] - TenForums

All the best,
Denis
