I recently updated to Windows 11, and today I had to install a new firewall. To start The installation I had to type in administrator username and password, however no input lines showes on the screen. The only possibility I have is to exit the administrator login screen. The other weird thing is that I own the computer, and no one Else has access to it. So I dont know why Im not admin? Therefore Id like to reset my pc completely. Does anyone know how to reset my pc without having administator access?
