Cannot access User Account control settings in Windows 10

H

I did the following in my laptop running Windows 10 home.


1. I was not able to download a software to the Program Files folder because access was denied due to "you don't have permission..."

(I could download to a folder whose name is the same as the account that was created on the machine but wanted to download to program files...). So I did the following stupid thing: I changed the Account settings using "netplwiz" command at Run. I think I checked "Other" instead of "Administrator". I think I restarted the machine.


2. Now I can't access anything! I can't access UAC since whenever I try I get the message " To continue enter an admin user name and password" but the Yes button is grayed out. I also cannot download anything and get the same message but can't enter a username and passwd. I tried to reset this PC but end up withe same problem at some point.


Please Help!!
