System Restore recommends a password reset disk is created when a new password has been added. I tried that, but get no response when I try it. I assume this may have something to do with the UAC prompt.
'YES' button on UAC prompt is absent.

There are lots of questions on this on line but no answers which actually work.
The problem is that I was trying to fine a way of saving config files in Microsoft FSX. Everytime I got a 'you're not permitted' response. Then an emergency cropped up and I left what I was doing. When I returned it seemed the PC had decided to do its own thing but I now believe it did a windows update.
The result was that whenever I want to do anything the UAC prompt appears asking me if I really want to. The trouble is the 'YES@ button has disappeared and no offered cure works because the UAC Prompt appears when I try - minus the 'Yes' button so the only option is 'NO'!.
I'm STUCK. Does anyone have a solution that really works - I can't even do a system restore.

2021-08-10T19:03:26+00:00 Juliana, I get as far as 12 now but the UAC prompt without 'yes ' stops me getting any further. Neilpzz is suggesting I go for a restore as it seems that is now possible. Are you in agreement?

System Restore keeps your system as it is but rolls back updates or changes for system level items. If you installed software, made system changes or got a windows update then these will be removed when you restore back to a previous date. (doesn't affect personal files)
As I've never tried it after adding a password to an account I don't know if your adding a password will be removed but if it completes successfully try to sign-in using your new password first, if not accepted try it blank.
As I see you are following another users suggestions then finish with those first before the above.

Do it again, in option 8, change the command to this one:
net user Administrator /active:yes
and see if it works!
