Using an administrator account lets you change security settings, install hardware and software, access all files, and make changes to other user accounts. However, if you forgot your password, got locked out of your computer, or your admin rights accidentally got revoked, you won’t be able to make the changes you want to do. Here’s how to change the administrator in Windows 10:
Changing a user account type requires administrator access. So if you only have a standard account, you will need to ask an administrator to do this for you. The administrator can change this by going to Settings > Account > Family & other users, then select the user account. Click on Change account, then click on the Administrator radio button, and finally hit OK.
You can change a user account type by opening Control Panel, clicking on Change account type, and selecting the user you want to choose as an administrator. Finally, confirm the change by selecting Change Account Type, and your changes will be saved.
