Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

I read your post about needing to recreate the Administrator account and wanted to help.

You should be able to create that account after booting into Safe Mode.

If you don't know how to boot into Safe Mode, then you need to tell us which OS version you are running, as the procedures varies by OS.

Good Luck

OK, thanks for the info.

Here's how to get into safe mode in Win10:  Safe Mode - Start Windows 10 in - Windows 10 Forums

Thanks.  Can you send me steps to follow in pm once I get to safe mode?  Not sure how to setup admin.  account from there OR do I have to do a factory reset?

Sorry, I don't use PM for support requests.

Your best option is to either view the steps on another PC or print them off.

Good Luck
