  1. I changed my user account name and now my laptop is unable to boot up.


    C:\users\susan\


    I didn't like my name was incomplete, it was "susan" insted of "susanta" in users folder. So i searched on internet to how to change it.



    What I did: Win + r, searched "netplwiz", opened up a window called User Accounts, I select on the the only accountadmin account, I click on properties, it opens up a new window allowing me to change my username, I change my username and click apply. But still the folder name is "susan". Then i can't find my account on the users list where I changed it. Then i think restart could solve my problem, But when i restart it won't boot up and can't auto repair.


    Please help.please....

    :)

    I changed a user name in 'c drive' - 'users'. Now I am unable to log into that account. How do I fix it?

    There is a second account on my laptop. I went into the c drive, users, and changed the user name. It was something random (do not remember it) to the name of the account user. Now he is unable to access his account. On the c drive - users, his attempts
    to log in are listed as 'Temporary'.

    What do I need to do to fix this?

    Thank you in advance for your assistance!

    I changed my user account name and now my computer is messed up

    Reason to change name: I didn't like how my name was incomplete for my account name on my PC, it was "carte" instead of "Carter", so I searched on the internet to figure how to change it.

    What I did: Win + r, searched "netplwiz", opened up a window called User Accounts, I select on the account that is mine (also the admin), I click on properties, it opens up a new window allowing me to change my username, I change my username and click apply.
    And now not only is what I wanted to be changed, not changed, but my entire computer is screwed.

    What is wrong that I can tell: I can't find my account on the users list (place where I changed it), I can't use the cortana search, I can't go into settings, and clicking or pressing the window icon on my screen/keyboard does nothing.

    Please help, i'm too afraid to even restart my computer.

    Edit:: When accessing some files I will get an error message, "No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.
