    Computer boots to another account


    Hi all,this just started yesterday.When I boot up or wake from sleep it shows my account and then an
    administrators account.Never did that before.I have a password for my account but it's set up not to ask.
    If I click on the other account it goes right to the desktop which I have never seen before.If I click on my account it asks for a password.I am really confused here.Help.

    :)
     

  2. Neither pin nor Microsoft account password access work on my ASUS F555L laptop after 5-10-2017

    I understand that I could create another user account on another computer. My laptop boots up looking for my original Microsoft account name. How would I get it to look for a new account name?

    Make a backup of the drive in case something happens and causes worse issues.
