Cannot sign in as Administrator anymore ... help please?

I have a big problem? I was getting this looping when I tried to update Windows home 10 so I looked at the help and one of the options was as follows

• Type: regedit in Start > Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList;
• Backup your registry key in case of any unexpected error (with ProfileList highlighted, click File and Export and choose a backup name);
• Scan through the ProfileList IDs and delete any with ProfileImagePath found in it as it shouldn’t be there;
• Close regedit, reboot and the Windows 10 reboot loop error will be removed.

I exported the file as a backup and not thinking left it in My Docs on the C Drive. I booted and now cannot sign in as administrator so therefore can not access the backup file to import them back.

I would like to be able to sign back as administrator so I can access my stuff. Can anybody help please?

The prob is I have to sign in with a temp account so I hane no restore points. I do have a bootable Windows 10 iso that I created a while ago so could I use that to recover or will it just want to install again which is ok if I have to as most of my stuff is backed up but would prefer not to have to go down that road.

Then please use the registry backup restore approach as per my previous post.

Thank you just not sure how to do that

Yes thank you sorry just find it a bit confusing. Will give it a go.

Assuming your system drive is d:, run the following command to restore Windows registry:

I am not sure what they mean by run?
