Hello,

I was trying to delete my accounts on windows 10 and i accidentally deleted the admin account and now i don't have permission to do anything. I tried to command prompt thing, it didn't helped and i'm not sure what to do? I only have one account and that is " Local Account " but there isn't administrator one and without it i can't do anything. If you help me, please talk to me like i'm stupi* and explain it step by step what to do.

Thanks a bunch

The default Administrator account is actually HIDDEN in Win10, so the usual process of using Settings --> Accounts will not work because it will not be shown.  

If all you did was delete the original account you created, what was YOUR account, not the default Admin account, and you might be able to correct that by going into Settings --> Accounts and creating a new account, of the Administrators type.
