    Admin account overruled by copy of my windows account and inaccessible


    I have no idea what the issue is, but after adding a new device to my Microsoft account, my old device suddenly had an extra user to my name, on top of the old admin user name in that same device.The original admin account of my old laptop is in accessible. The system alert literally says 'something strange happened and my pincode cant be used. My fingerprint recognition had also disappeared and it does not accept my password either. its locked. I can only log in as a guest via de copy account that suddenly appeared, but i cant access my original workspace where all my former files are stored

    :)

    Hidden Admin Account Infected - Help

    Somehow my windows 7 hidden admin account got infected. I cannot open regedit, task manager or any virus program.. in fact.. most programs wont work.. but my regular everyday account is fine.

    The problem is this: I have been infected in my regular account before.. and running virus tools from my hidden admin account fixes them.. but I cannot do the reverse now because my regular account doesn't have access to my admin account.

    I know what the virus is.. its a rouge antivirus.. it mostly annoying.. Programs do open up for a split second before this rouge antivirus program closes it again and then lies and gives me a message that says, " Cannot open this program, the program is infected" LOL

    Its putting a lot of adware on my system but not crippling it.. but only in the admin account.

    What are your ideas?

    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:
