What is the defaultuser1, which I can find in my C drive User folder? How it is creating and what is the reason behind that ?

Need a answer please .

Cannot log-in due defaultuser1 in Pre-Boot Authentication

Hi,

I have laptop HP ProBook 450 G5 with disk encrypted using BitLocker (I have recovery keys for drives)

My Windows account is Microsoft Account with Active Directory Joined (that's why I have those recovery keys - backup in account).

Those HP laptops have PBA called "Power-On Authentication" which triggers before BIOS is turned on.

It was working fine (my password and fingerprint let me log in) until a few days ago. When PBA comes to action I can only see "DESKTOP-XXXXXXX\defaultuser1". Obviously I haven't created such an account and never seen it before.

I suspect (but not 100%) some Windows update is ongoing thus some "defaultuser1" is treated as a temporary admin account.

I cannot change this user, I cannot reset settings, cannot boot from USB, cannot go to a command line, cannot go to recovery mode, cannot restore the system to the previous version - PBA is working well in this case.

Do you know what could be the password for this "defualtIuser1"? Or how could I use credentials for my normal account?

Now I'm working remotely thus connecting with my home Wi-Fi, could this defaultuser1 be changed to proper account when I log-in connected to the internet in office (RJ-45)?









FYI my post on HP forum: Power-On authentication stopped working - defaultuser1 - HP Support Community - 7549238

 

Rename/change User account in File Explorer

Ok, I renamed the trgra folder to what I wanted. Now how do I get rid of the defaultuser1.ASUS5 folder; it's not listed in the control panel.

And thanks!

 

new defaultuser1 account at start since last windows update

Hi,
After the last update, my computer would start with a new account: defaultuser1, for which I have no password.
I wrote to microsoft and tried starting in safe mode and type in the command prompt :
net user administrator /active:yes

Which didn't work.
I tried several things like get rid of the defaultuser1 account in the command prompt without result (the system cannot find the file specified).

One result did look like I may have a similar problem like the one described in your forum here

If I type net user, then there is an errormessage (the command completed with one or more error) and there is no computer name after User accounts for \\

As I have no possibility to log in, I can not do what is explained by Kari in the thread.
Do you have any Idea how to help me?
Thanks a lot
