HP Recommended
Product: HP 15 Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

 

after one of the updates last year, I had no user account of administrator type. 

when looking at it in the control panel it still has "adninistrator" under the name, but when one looks through the control panel at "change account type"  it is a usual user account.

I did not change this.

 

it showed and shows through having to troubleshoot the internet connection each time after starting the laptop and then run the repairs to be done with administrator access.

I assume that this also makes driver updates fail. An assumption on my side.

 

I dont have any other administrator account. This was the only account I had and should not have happened.

 

How can I change my account to a administrator account again?

 

Thank you for your help!
