Lost Administrators Group Membership

My wife's normally signs in to her computer using her Microsoft account. So as a user on the system she shows up as "C900," which is the model number of the computer.

Her account had Administrators Group membership, but I accidentally removed it.

I'm attempting to restore this membership without much luck.

I have activated the Administrator account but I cannot log in under this account. I can access the command line as Administrator, but Administrator seems to have limited authority there.

Using the command,

"net user"

does not show my wife's account.

Creating an account with Administrators Group membership using,

"net localgroup Administrators NEWUSER /add

seems to create a user temporarily but upon a reboot the user disappears.

I am stumped.

Is there a way to regain Administrators Group membership for this account?

Hope it helps.
