Lost Administrative Account...Now Guest
I recently lost my administrative account. (i.e. it is now a guest account.) I am the owner of the computer and have created a backup account that has administrative access thru the built-in admin. I was trying to get rid of the Homegroup section of Explorer when suddenly I only had Guest access. Now whenever I do anything needing UAC, I have to login through the other account.
Is there anyway to re-assign the original account (now guess access) to administrative. BTW, the account in not seen when I go to "Manage another account" on either the built-in admin or the new administrative account.
