can't change security settings

I am the only user and owner of my Zoom account. Still, I can't change certain security settings (under Settings > Meeting > Security) because Zoom says there are "new security guidelines" and refers me to the "account admin". But I'm the owner/admin and sole user. How is this possible? And how can I solve it?

The issue is self explanatory. 

Zoom requires that all meetings are secured with one of the following security options: a passcode, Waiting Room, or "Only authenticated users can join meetings". If no security option is enabled, Zoom will secure all meetings with Waiting Room.
