Question Administrative Blunder; No administrative access

[Wilcal]

W10pro. Was trying to get rid of one Admin user that i had long forgotten the password for. Using my known admin password i went into: computer management ; Local users and groups ; Users, clicked on that account looked at the properties and saw a click box to disable it. After clicking it and checking back the other admin account was using was also disabled along with "defaultacct", Guest acct, and WDAGUtilityacct. I have not been able to figure a way to undue what i did. Tried using save mode where i can boot in as an admistrator, but i can find a way to unclick any of those disabled boxes in safe mode. I have serious regrets for not leaving well enough alone. Advice anyone please

Without administrator rights the ONLY solution is a full wipe and reinstall.

How do i save everything i have in that case?
Is there a way to create another administrator?

Not without Administrator rights on the machine. Consider this an object lesson. And, where is the backup you've been making?

Barring a backup you will need to acquire another drive to replace the existing one. Then reinstall and attach the old drive externally, do a bulk permission change on the old drive and retrieve your files (NOT programs).

This is specifically what a good backup routine is for.

That, and NOT screwing up the Admin account
