HELP!!
Apparently my Windows 8.1 operating system has been hijacked. I can not
Access any Admin privileges (although it shows me as a (Guest/Local/Admin) account.
It does NOT show the built in Admin account (only shows 1 standard account and also my account, a guest account [that falsely says it is password protected and a admin] both are untrue.
My laptop definitely 100% has been been hijacked (either by a very difficult form of Malware and/or a Human [due to the level of sophistication] I believe it was/is a Human attack.)
Things I’ve (unsuccessfully) tried.
1) Safe Mode system – refresh or reset. (won’t allow either due to NO admin rights) – it said “the system only shows “admin” accounts that PREVIOUSLY HAD signed into this PC – does not [currently] show or include any standard user or domain accounts?
2) net user Administrator /active: yes (says error 5 / access denied)
3) (right click – on THIS PC) properties… no “local/user groups” is show or available to change any of their admin privileges.
4) Tried to open a NEW local standard account (so I can use it to transfer (my so-called admin privileges to it) but it will not allow me to make either a new Microsoft or a new local Windows user account.
5) Can not go to PC SETTINGS and change “account types” either, to change who has the administrator rights.
BOTTOM LINE: This Hijack has my system in a TOTAL locked down – every way possible – it is very sophisticated and has managed to BLOCK every single option available to recover full administrative rights.
If there is anyone who KNOWS THEIR SH*T and wants a challnge – PLEASE help me BEAT this and get MY computer back!! Thanks all.

Can not understand why Microsoft made so hard to get to safe mode. Windows 10 is worse than vista. I really hope someone makes a different os I am glad they got hit for back taxes. Maybe they can sell this crap to the people that you can not understand on support. I bought it in USA speak English. So far lost tons of my memories web cams 4 hard drives 5 motherboards. Used to love my PC those days are gone I think they are Democrats want suck every penny,out of me.
