    ]Using Command Prompt with Safe Mode:
    • Boot your computer into Safe Mode.
    • Open an elevated Command Prompt:
      • Press Windows key + R, type cmd, and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
      • Type net user administrator /active:yes and press Enter.
  2. Registry Editor:
    • Press Windows key + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
    • Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList.
    • Right-click on the right pane, select "New" > "DWORD (32-bit) Value."
    • Name it Administrator and set the value to 1. After enabling the administrator account using one of these methods, remember to set a password for the account to keep your system secure.
