Administrator help needed

[jim3]

Hi everyone.
First let me say that I'm not computer savvy. So you may have to "dumb down" your responses if you're nice enough to help me. Somehow HomeGroupUser$ is now the administrator (with a password that I don't have) and Jim is a standard user. I can't download software or even do a registry cleanup because I'm not the administrator. This is just my home pc not on a network or anything. At least I think I'm not. If I am I don't need to be do I? I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Jim

command prompt

Gary,
Thank you for your help. The instructions want me to copy and paste something in the command prompt screen. How do I do that? Where do I copy from?

thank you,
Jim
