Deleted my admin account and now I can't log in my laptop at all.

Okay so, I only had one account on my laptop and it was the admin account. Like an idiot, I deleted it by mistake. It logged me off and my login popped up but it said my password was wrong. I've tried to log in with safe mode but it wouldnt even pop up. Hit the esc key when i restarted and then hit f11 but it just took me back to my login. F8 wouldn't pull anything up either. Did i totally screw myself? I mean I dont have anything important on there im just mad i cant log in at all .

Do you have win 10 media? Usb or DVD? I think if you were to boot to that, go into recovery options, and launch a command prompt, you can probably add a user account there.

Check out this link -

It has instructions on how to add a user account via cmd prompt. I think that’s your best bet!
