  1. Account Not Showing Up and I can't Log in


    Hello,

    I am having a massive issue. When I start my computer, I get the log in screen. However, my account seems to be gone. It asks for a password, I type it in, and then it says "please enter username and password". I have no area to enter a username, but I never had to do that in the past. It's as if Windows forgot my account and I have no way to get past the log in screen. I have attached two photos as well to explain this better.

    All of this happened when I shut the computer down after getting a black screen for a few moments. Maybe I shut down during an update or something.

    Missing administrator account

    After I received the anniversary update I can't log into x-box in the pc, Cortana can only do web search and now I see I have no administrator account. I screwed up and deleted my Microsoft account and can't open a new one, other online at the Microsoft
    website but I can't log on to it, it shows up on the lock window but it will not let me log on it.

    I have tried to log on to the hidden administrator in the computer management but that doesn't show any users and I can't find anything about a administrator of any kind.

    Is it possible to delete the anniversary update and get the admin account back ?

    Bump please. My normal account isn't showing up and it is automatically logging into Administrator.

    Have you tried clicking on the arrow to find another account?

  5. I am not sure which arrow you mean. I click on the one next the password box but it just acts as an enter key, and says enter username and password.

    Boot your computer in Safe Mode and see if you could login.

  11. I managed to do most of the tasks, but after entering the new username at the prompt and rebooting, the new username does not show up. I am still stuck.
