    I accidently changed the file settings on my laptop and locked myself out of the C:.
    I cant do a system restore or enable administrator.

    There are no other Administrators on my pc. If you need any other information just ask me please:)

    boot into Safe Mode using F8.
    Login using the Admin account

    Where to go and what to fix depends upon what you did to create this issue ---
