I changed the username in the admin profile on my mac and now I can't access admin on my mac. I can still use my computer as I had auto login configured earlier. Just can't access admin to change details etc. Any help?

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013)

2.7 GHz Intel Core i5

macOS High Sierra 10.13.3

I changed my admin user name and now my mac won't accept any name or password for admin changes. I use high sierra; I changed my administrator username, clicked the lock and then restarted my computer. It no longer shows a user name in that box and doesn't accept any username or password that I put in, even though I can still log into the computer under my original username and password. I'm no longer recognized as an administrator or technically a user...HELP!!!
