I removed "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"

Question

Hello there, I wanted to remove typing passwords when the PC is turning on, then watched a tutorial on how to do it.
They said u have to go on netplwiz and disable the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option.
So I did it and I saw I can't open any applications that request Administration, I wanted to restart my PC but can't do it.
Does anyone know how to get the administrator back?

btw. some tutorials on youtube when they start PC in troubleshoot mode they have "administrator" and "user" accounts but I don't have eighter of them. it only shows my mail and logged in without a password request.

Hi there,

As it seems you cannot shut down the PC, I would suggest you try to enter the safe mode and then try to undo what you did and login back to the PC.

Safe mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. If a problem doesn't happen in safe mode, this means that default settings and basic device drivers aren't causing the issue.

You can follow this link and try entering the safe mode
