    Can’t log into pc - deleted user account


    I did a big disk clean up using the windows utility - next time i tried to log on to my laptop my user account is not there and i cant log on. I think my user account has been deleted. I have tried getting into safe mode but this just brings up the log in screen anf my upaccount is not there so i still can get in is my old work laptop so there are other administrator logins from when it was a work laptop.

    :)

    Deleting User Accounts

    If you can access the admin account through safe mode then all you have to do to remove the other account passwords is go into User Accounts in the control panel and either delete the accounts or, I'm not sure, remove the account passwords.

  3. Facebook Allows Users to Delete Accounts

    Yes, for quite some time, once you had a Facebook account, it wasn't going anywhere. Now, fortunately for college students and people with no attention span everywhere, Facebook now allows said people to delete their Facebook accounts. This was in direct response to user complaints about not being able to delete their accounts, if desired. Even if users were able to delete their own accounts, there were no obvious directions on how to do that. Another reason that Facebook decided to allow users to delete their accounts was a reason that could have gotten Facebook sued if they did not address it: privacy. The "I didn't actually make a Facebook" E-mails were really racking up in Facebook's inbox, and Facebook sometimes made it all too easy for people to research intimate/private/personal details of users' lives. At this point, deleting your account is just a help-page away. Facebook admins are considering adding a "delete account" button.

    Can’t log into pc - deleted user account

    Deleting a user account leaves traces of that user behind in C:\users


    No, when you enable the built in Administrator account, just uncheck "Account is disabled", the password should be empty so when you log in, just click Sign In.

    FYI, I tried it in my PC:
    1. Create a Local account and log in so Windows will set it up with an SID (64 bit unique ID) associated with the account, set up the environment for the account etc...
    2. Switch to any user with Admin right then delete the account. At this point, the user account folder still exists.
    3. Enable the built in Administrator
    4. Reboot and log in as Administrator then delete the user account folder, answer Yes if prompted.
