Hopefully someone can help or confirm that a reinstall is the only solution
In addition to my user accounts, I created a specialist admin account with elevated rights
I don't know how I did it but I accidentally removed the elevated rights from my administrative account so now it is a user account without privileges.
I am now stuck as every attempt I make to resolve the situation is blocked by a request to enter an admin account and credentials that I no longer have. Why did Windows allow me to do this? Windows should not have allowed me to eliminate my only admin account.
I assume that my only solution is to reinstall Windows. Can anyone confirm this?
Any advice to run tools that require admin access is of course not going to work, because I have no credentials. Fortunately I do have Windows 10 installation on a flash drive which I created a few weeks ago.
Thanks in advance for any assistance
