I am unable to log in as an administrator.

Copper Contributor

This all began when I tried to bypass the lock screen on my Windows 11 computer. Following advice from an online source, I pressed the Windows+R keys and entered "netplwiz," leading to an inadvertent error in the settings that now prevents me from running any programs. Due to the lack of administrator privileges, I am unable to authorize changes and face the frustrating situation of being unable to log in as an admin or modify my account type through the control panel. Being the one who constructed this PC, it is ironic that a seemingly innocuous action has disrupted its functionality after a year of trouble-free operation. In a state of desperation for a solution, this issue has even resulted in damage to one of my monitors.
