  1. How do I switch user accounts from the log in screen?


    I have a surface pro and I only use the Admin local user option. Something happened and it switched to Other User and I do not have log in info for that user account and now I cannot get back to the Admin log in that I know the info for. When I restart it, it goes right back to Other User. Window Hello recognizes me as Admin but says my password was changed on another computer and I need to log in. Help!

    :)
