NOTE: The drive letter (ex: C) will not always be the same at boot as it is from within Windows 10. Open the drive (ex: D ) that you have Windows 10 installed on, and browse to the location below. In the left pane of Registry Editor, click/tap on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key.Click/tap on File (menu bar), and on Load Hive. In the command prompt, type regedit, and press Enter. (or start computer with any windows recovery media) Sometimes links end up dying so I will just copy and paste the working solution from Opens a new window in case someone else needs it later:Ĭlick/Tap on the Power button under the Start Menu or on the lower right-hand side of the Login screen, press and hold the Shift key, and click/tap on Restart. Thanks to this thread I got unstuck (I didn't really want to start over configuring that computer). Just enabling the administrator account from the command line did not work (because it only affects the active winpe session), but loading the registry hive on the C drive and editing it as per the instructions did work. And like the OP, the link by 1037 solved the issue for me.

(in my case I accidentally deleted the only local administrator account before leaving the domain). I had the exact same thing happen as the original poster.
