So I was sort of playing around with net user in command prompt and somehow locked myself out of my main local account on my PC. I made an account with the command: net user Blank 73. I'm currently on the 'Blank' account and have no administrative access whatsoever and cannot allow administrative actions because somehow my initial account's password changed...? Help. Please.

Yeah, I'm laughing at myself too but at the same time worried to shit if I can't get back on my admin account. I really don't want to have to reset windows.

Let this be a lesson. Never jack around with command prompt if you have no clue what a command does. I had a friend who set encryption on w/ a random prime number 10 digits long via command prompt (no clue how he did it) and he had to get a new hard drive since you needed the two numbers that made the encrypting prime number to format it xD

i have a really good solution that might work but LTT forum says im blocked and i dont know why... ;(

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

No, he encrypted his hard drive w/ random numbers, I think there is a 75% chance you can get back into your account :D
