    Can't log into Admin account on W10


    Okay, so I just bought this Laptop from Wal-Mart. When i booted it up for the first time it already had an account made called "2628". There was a password already on it, so i tried it, and the password was the same as the username. Used this computer for a couple of weeks and never changed the username or password


    Noticed a Desktop shorcut for something called "IPOS", which was already on the desktop when I opened the computer for the first time. And like an idiot, I clicked on it and installed whatever it was onto my computer. My computer rebooted, and on the log in screen it added an account called "Darrin DeYoung" which had no password to access. I logged into it and it was like my computer was in Wal-Mart display mode. the screen showed Wal-Mart at the top, showed the specs on the left side, and had a big yellow button at the bottom that said "Experience Windows* 10". When I clicked, it took me to a regular desktop and i can do whatever I want, except this account is not the Admin.


    I Logged out, clicked on the original "2628" account, typed in the password, but says that password is incorrect. The password is the same as the username tho, which is what it was at default when I first bought it. I tried numerous times, even trying passwords I use on other accounts but nothing works. When I click on Reset Password, it gives me 3 security questions, which I never set up. I kept the account name and the username the same it was at default the entire time if owned this laptop, Yet my password changes.

    :)

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Can't log into Admin account on W10

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
