Trying to enter recovery mode, but get "this volume has no admin users to authenticate." I am an admin user, not sure what to do.

How can I fix this?

I am logged into an admin account. This happened after doing a clean install of Mac OS because I couldn't restore from Time Machine. When I open Disk Utility, it looks like there are 3 different internal drives, one is greyed out and is 10gb, one is not greyed out and is 28 gb, and one is greyed out and not mounted.
