    Want to DELETE second User Account at login

    Hello, I'm using a Windows 10 PC and I am the only user. My administrator username is "John Doe".
    Recently when I start the PC, I get 2 options for user login-"John Doe", where I click to enter my password and a second option to use a PIN, both have EXACT name "John Doe". The first option asks for a Password- it does not accept any PW I've associated with the account. When selecting the second option, the PIN box appears. I am then able to get to my desktop screen.

    I want to do two things: 1) Delete the account that asks for the PW 2) Automatically login and go to my desktop screen. When I go to Control Panel user settings to delete it, there is only ONE account that shows. I've tried at least 6 solutions suggested, none have worked. Probably need step-by-step instructions. Thanks in advance.

  3. Removing deleted user account from login screen

    Hi Macheal,

    Thank you for posting your queries in Microsoft Community.

    We are sorry to know that you have issues with the account.

    Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.

    Are you logging in using a Microsoft account?

    If you are using an administrator account, I suggest you to delete the other user accounts once again and check if that helps.

    Method 1: I would have you perform the steps-

    • Login to your default account.
    • Click on the “Windows logo” and type “User Accounts”.
    • Now, select “Settings” and then select the “User Accounts” icon.
    • Click on “Manage another account” and then select the user account that you want to delete.
    • Click on “delete the account”.
    • Depending on whether you want to “Keep the files” or “delete the files” choose the appropriate option.
    • You can delete the other accounts similarly.

    Note: Once deleted, the user accounts cannot be recovered. Make sure you back up any data if required.

    Method 2: If the issue persists, create a new user account and check if it helps.

    Refer the following link for help.

    Create a user account in Windows - Microsoft Support

    Note the above steps are also valid in Windows 10.

    Please contact us for further assistance, we are glad to assist you.

  4. after login account and cant log out now, theres no delete option

    Windows 10 - Deleted account appears in login and not able to login

    Thanks for the reply Anu...

    I am not logged in with the microsoft account so when I click on reset password on the windows login page I see a popup to enter the cd for the password recovery which I don't have it

    This is a local windows account that I deleted from the command prompt in my previous login

    for reference here are the steps that I followed

    • Initially had Windows 7
    • upgraded to Windows 10
    • Didn't like it much as I have to run everything as administrator otherwise the application will not open
    • All my previous work is moved to a different user account which is a master admin and I have to keep trying to access to that folder
    • So I used a RECOVERY option in windows 10 to go back to Windows 7
    • Got a popup requesting to delete the accounts created in Windows 10
    • Using command prompt deleted the user account(local user account and not the Microsoft account.Read somewhere in blogs.(net user and then delete user from cmd prompt))
    • Got the confirmation message in cmd prompt window that the user account has been successfully deleted
    • Restarted my machine and I am surprised to see the login window (the one that is deleted in previous steps)
    • I tried resetting the password but requires password recovery cd which I didn't create after moving to Windows 10
