There are at least three solutions to help you get back in, I think. One is activate the built-in hidden administrator account offline using Windows installation media: https://www.wintips.org/how-to-enable-administrator-offline-in-registry-windows-10-8-7-vista/ or promote your standard user to administrator: https://www.top-password.com/knowledge/change-standard-user-to-administrator.html The final method is restore your Windows to a previous backup point, or use the Linux Live CD: Ophcrack, Offline NT Password & Registry Editor. https://ophcrack.sourceforge.io/ https://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/
