I F*cked up and I need help. - eviltoast

Hey guys. I’m new to Linux and I’m running Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon. Yesterday I have f*cked up. I was testing things in users and geve myself standart priveledges insted of Admin ones I had from beggining and then restarted PC. I then tried log back into users tab and change myself back to Admin but even tho the password is correct It says that it is not. /So at this point there is only one user in PC who has standart privliedges and no Admin./ I then tried to access root via terminal and this time It said that I don’t have permision to do that. And this is where I’m at right now. Please help get back my admin privliedges.

Edit: Issue is fixed. I started GRUB and changed my password which fixed the whole issue. Once again big Thank you to everyone who gave me tips and also big thank you to the guy who started posting about rowing machines. You all wonderful.

    It’s enabled by default when you login to windows with a Microsoft account, which they very rudely push on you and make it very difficult to login with a regular local account.

      Not as far as I know. I’ve logged in with MS accounts on Windows and still been able to read the disks. Ok Windows 10 and above last one I used was 8.
