Reverse administrator from OS x server to normal user

Hi, I messed up with OS X Server trying to screen share my home iMac with my MacBook Air but now I just turned both administrator users into a server like and cannot enter in the file systems.

I turn on my Mac, enter the password of the user but the system cannot load my info.

I tried to connect my mac with a thunderbolt to an external one trying to save some files and initialize the whole disk but I still cannot access to my user folder. Everything is blocked and I cannot find a way out of this huge mess.

Is there a way to reconnect the administrator to a normal type of user without delete anything?

Thanks for the help

MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
