    Administrator name has changed in Win 10


    My son used my computer to access his X-Box account, he had to use his email address to sign in and since then the name of the administrator has changed from me to him. How do I get it to go back to me? Tried Settings, User Accounts, Change Account Type but nothing works.

    :)

    name changes??

    If you desire a name change please do the following:

    • Ask yourself if you really need a name change.
    • Make sure you have a good reason.
    • Know what you want your new name to be before you request a name change.
    • Send Urlyin a PM containing a decent explanation of your reason as well as your desired name.
