Guys in my laptop running windows 8.1 i tried to uninstall synaptic touch pad drivers but an error message appears saying you have to be logged in as an administrator to uninstall driver. I messed around with the user account privileges activated the windows admin account through command prompt some how i removed administrator privileges from my account and i deactivated the admin account through command prompt. NOW I DON'T HAVE ANY ADMINISTRATIVE ACCOUNTS TO GIVE ME RIGHTS TO EVEN INSTALL SIMPLE PROGRAMS IN MY SYSTEM.I tried to re enable the admin account but i couldn't because i have to give admin rights to command prompt which i don't have. So i'm stuck with this message box each time i try to do anything that requires privileges 2015-11-13 23.43.32.jpgi have only one option to click No, yes is greyed. So please suggest a way other than reinstalling windows.

Do you have some Restore points, made recently which you can use to restore your registry back to some previous date?

It's a new lap so i don't think any restore points are there, even if there were i still need an access control from admin to do anything that sort of things

Well, if it's a new laptop, and you haven't installed much softwares, and if you have access to the Original Win key, there's no reason why you can't reinstall the OS.
Also, you can try to recover from the backup partition laptops usually comes pre-shipped with. Like resetting the OS.

Before resetting, check the Administrator option in "Local Security Policy" as below.

If it is disabled, enable the admin account. Logoff your account and login with admin account, and if possible change your user account as Adminstrator (if it's standard).
