I had a single account on my Windows 10 laptop which I changed from an administrator to a standard account not knowing the consequences.

I tried booting Ubuntu (16.04) from a flash drive. But when I'm renaming sethc.exe file I get a popup showing "Error renaming file operation not supported". Please help me out of it and become the administrator user of the system.

To get back administrator access - Boot from the Ubuntu disk and install "chntpw". Run it from the command line (as root I imagine) and you can reset the admin permissions and password. (See this guide)
