It sounds like you're in a tricky situation with your Windows user accounts. Don't worry, we can work through it! Here’s what you can do to regain access to your admin account:

1. Try to Reset the Password​

If you just need to reset the admin account password, follow these steps:

• Using Reset Disk (if created):
  1. Insert the password reset disk.
  2. At the login screen, enter the wrong password, and you should see a "Reset password" link.
  3. Follow the instructions to reset.
• Without Reset Disk: If you don't have a reset disk, you can use the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) to access advanced options:
  1. Restart your computer and press F8, Shift + F8, or F11 repeatedly during boot to access recovery mode (the key varies by manufacturer).
  2. Choose “Troubleshoot” > “Advanced options” > “Command Prompt.”
  3. Use the following commands to reset the password:

      net user *

     (replace with your admin account name). You will be prompted to enter a new password.

     2. Enable Built-in Administrator Account​

     If you can access the Command Prompt via Windows Recovery, you could also enable the built-in administrator account:
     • In the Command Prompt, type:

        net user administrator /active:yes

     • Restart your computer and log in as the built-in Administrator.

       3. Safe Mode Access​

       Sometimes going into Safe Mode can help:
     • Access recovery options as described above.
     • Go to “Troubleshoot” > “Advanced options” > “Startup Settings” and choose “Restart.”
     • After your PC restarts, select “Safe Mode” (usually option 4 or 5).
     • Log in and try to reset the password as described earlier.

       4. Use Third-party Tools​

       If the above steps don't work, there are third-party applications like Ophcrack or Offline NT Password & Registry Editor that can help reset or recover passwords, but they require creating a bootable USB or CD.

       5. System Restore​

       If nothing else works, you can use System Restore if you have restore points enabled:
     • Access recovery options again and choose “System Restore.”
     • Choose a restore point dated before the password change.

       Important Notes​

       • Always ensure that you have backups of important data.
       • For security reasons, it's recommended not to use third-party tools unless you're familiar with them.
