How to change the administrator user

My brother has changed the only account on my computer a regular account, and now because of this I can not install stuff etc, because I'm not an administrator, and I can't change my account type because only Admins can do that and I tried allow the all-powerful administrator user , but I can't, advice on how to solve this problem?

Try to start in safe mode. If and only if there is no administrator account Windows won't allow the master account administrator mode without failure.

    I create a user administrator using cmd.exe. The command is
    "net/active: Yes"user "Administrator" password"{enter}".

    Now I want to delete this account, but I can't delete it anywhere, as the user accounts and parental controls as well as cmd.exe
    "net user"Administrator"/ delete".

    How can I remove that administrator user?
