As the title suggests, I accidentally changed my only admin account to guest today. The account is also my Microsoft account, and I don't have any other accounts on my computer. So I ended up with only a guest account and can't use my laptop to its full potential. Since I'm not the admin anymore, I can't simply do a recovery or create a new admin account. I'm really desperate. What should I do in such case?

I don't want any "hacking" solutions, since the laptop is mine and I'd like to solve this problem in a proper way.

Thanks

EDIT: Eventually, I solved the problem by reinstalling the system.

  • Follow this tutorial to enable the built-in Administrator account (https://www.technipages.com/windows-administrator-account-login-screen). Then in the built-in admin account, make your Microsoft Account member of Admin group. – John Sep 07 '21 at 11:03

  • Thanks for your reply. I have tried this before, but unfortunately, I couldn't search the drive where Windows was installed. Eventually, I solved my problem simply by reinstalling the system, which was not a big deal for me. – bezouskat Sep 08 '21 at 16:23
