How to change from Standard User back to Admin

[sparkie7]

I was changing the Admin name (my name) to a my initials (using Advanced options). But it didn't change the name, instead it's changed the User from Admin to Standard.

Now when I go to 'Click the lock to make changes', it doesn't work. I've tried using the initials I entered as well as my name. The password was not changed so not sure what's going on.

Any ideas?

If it worked the way it was supposed to I wouldn’t have to! 😇
