    Just to verify, are you doing OPTION FOUR in a command prompt at boot and not from inside Windows or Safe Mode?
    no, it is from inside windows
    i don't have a usb or recovery drive (can't create one without admin permission)

    That would be why then. It can only be done in a command prompt opened at boot after booting from installation or recovery media.

    You could create a USB on another computer (ex: friends?) if you like to boot from on your computer.

    If you're able to download an ISO and create the USB, then sure.

    Did you already create a Windows 10 installation USB using the tutorials above?

    If so, or when you do, you should be able to do OPTION FOUR as posted below to enable the built-in Administrator account at boot, then sign in to that account to fix your account. :)

    only 3 options show up when I boot from flash drive (no "use a device" option). I'm pretty sure I followed how to make a usb windows 10 iso
    not sure what to do now.
