I didn't do a thing. It says it's an administrator account when I see the
icon in the User Accounts section of Control Panel, but when I open the
"Change your account type," the "standard" button is selected. I select the
"administrator" button, but the "change account type" selection box
immediately greys out.

All rather odd and not a little annoying.
