Not able to switch to admin account

Hello,

This is a issue that I have been stuck on for a very long time. I had created a new user account in windows 11 and changed by current user to standard user so now I don't have admin access on this account. But I am not getting an option to login with my other user account on windows. In the login screen I just get the option to login with my current account. And since I don't have the admin access in this account I can't make any changes in the local group or any other solution that requires admin access. Can you please help me in resolving this. Please let me know if any further info is required.

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Log into your own standard account.

On the Start Menu, click your user account icon at the bottom left, then click the 3 dots on the resulting popup, can you switch to the other administrator user account you created from there?
