No, Administrator is the name of an account. It is not the name of your
account. You need to pick your account (the one that shows up on the logon
screen when you log on). What you did was give the Administrator account
permissions, and that account is disabled.

Is this the main hard drive in your system? If it is just an external
removable, then it is fine.

Just to make sure though, if this is the drive you boot from: PLEASE! Do not
do that! You will most likely ruin your system by changing all the
permissions in this way. At the very least you will destroy all security that
is based on file system security, including service hardening, user account
control, and the protections in Internet Explorer.
