I changed some settings on my computer last week and added an account. I thought I changed which account was administrator but I found out yesterday that neither account is set as administrator. I have tried to change one of them but when the little window pops up to enter the "add/change" account there isn't a place to enter a password as if there were an administrator.

Anyone know how to help me out?

Do you know if you still have the hidden admin account?

How would I get to it if I did? (I don't know if I do)

Press F8 during startup, and choose Safe Mode.

Or just search for hours, give up, and frustratedly smash you head on your keyboard.
A file should come up solving your problem.
This had worked for me in multiple situations.
