    Go to Advanced startup and select Restart now.

    After your PC restarts to the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings >Restart.

    After your PC restarts, select a startup setting as Safe Mode with command prompt by pressing the corresponding number.

    Open Command Prompt and copy paste the following command and press the Enter key:

    net user administrator /active:yes

    Close the Command Prompt.

    Try to login though Built in Administrator and change the other user account privileges to Administrator.
