Administrator Login
I mistakenly deleted my Administrator account. I want it back now since I can't take absolute control over my Laptop.

Welcome to TenForums @Cobbie
You can enable the built-in Administrator account and use that to make your usual login account an administrator, or create a new administrator account. Without an existing administrator you would need "Option Five: Enable or Disable Built-in Administrator in Command Prompt at Boot" in this tutorial.
Enable or Disable Elevated Administrator account in Windows 10
The built-in Administrator is not suitable for day-to-day use and should be disabled once you have one or more other administrators available.
Cobbie,
This MSA forum article contains a complete procedure for fixing your problem - 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 - Forum article
