Windows 10: Windows 7 askes a password, but I never set one

on startup windows 7 opended up some "a" user which I never set up and is asking a password. Unfortunately there no other user options so I could enter windows system. If anyone had such case please advice what should I do and how could I regain access to my files?

Bitlocker not asking for password set up

I have the same problem as David with bitlocker set-up not asking me for a password. Following the instructions in the article suggested by Jennifer does not help as it assumes that I will be prompted to enter a password - the set up skips that step going
straight to the options for saving the recovery key. Once (supposedly) encrypted, I can restart my computer without having to enter anything apart from my microsoft password so I do not have any additional security at all.

 

Windows 10 asks for a password reset upon every login attempt to the machine, there is no password set. (local PC user account)

Hi,

To help you disable the prompt when you sign in to the computer, please answer these questions:

• Before installing Windows 10, was the computer part of a workgroup?
• Are you using the same user profile from the previous Windows installation?
• Have you tried setting a different password? Does it also ask you to change it when the computer restarts?

Try the steps below to resolve the issue:

• Right-click on the Windows icon on your home screen.
• Select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Click OK if you get a prompt window.
• Type wmic UserAccount set PasswordExpires=False then press
  Enter.

Restart the computer after performing the steps and check if it will still ask you to change your password.

Let us know how it goes.
