Windows 10: Changed user name, cant log in to windows with lokal account anymore!!

Hi, my problem is I changed the username name via the computermanager "datorhantering" in windows. After that there is no way to login to windows with that account anymore. Im currently in another account but even after changing the name back to the original it doesnt work. The windows log in page does not allow me to login to this account beacuse there is no option to login to a account with only a user name and not a email address. The account is a lokal, administrator.



Pls help it would save my day



Thanks in advance
