    1

    Open the Settings App.

    Go to Accounts - Your Info.

    At the top of that settings window, is it indicated your account is an Administrator account?

    2

    Click your Start Button, then just type netplwiz and press Enter.

    Does that utility open or are you blocked by an Administrator popup.
