Windows 10: I am locked out of my administrator account. It's not even visible on the login screen?

Hey, so I have a problem signing into the administrator account. I had two accounts on my computer; the admin and my personal one. I wanted to switch the admin account in order to make my personal one administrator. The reason I wanted to do this was because my admin account restricted me from opening Google because of family settings ? even though I never set it up. Also because having two accounts took up a lot of storage, I thought it would be better to just make my personal account the admin and delete the other one since I dont use it. Anyways, I looked online for help and I was told to

Lock vs Login screen screenshot

You can use your own image of any background and just go to settings/personalize/lock screen and click on browse as in the image below. It should make whatever picture you use as the Lock Screen

 

Lock vs Login screen screenshot

Hi Josey -

Thanks for the quick reply. While your suggestion does change the sign in process, it doesn't address the differing screenshot question. Following the steps doesn't make the login screenshot the same as the Lock screenshot. As I mentioned, I can't even find the screenshots being used for both screens.

Still looking a solution to this. Open to any other suggestions you might have to the problem. Thanks!

 

User accounts not visible in Windows login screen.

Hi,

I realize that you are unable to see the user accounts in the Windows login screen, let me assist you.

This issue might happen if the user account is disabled, I suggest you to follow the below steps to check if the user accounts are disabled and try enabling them.

• 
  Press Windows key + X key and click on
  Computer Management.
  
• 
  Click on Local Users and Groups in the left pane.
  
• 
  Double click on Users option and check if the accounts are visible.
  
  (The user accounts with a downward arrow symbol on it are disabled accounts.)
  
• 
  Double click on the account that you want to enable.
  
• 
  In the General tab, uncheck the option
  Account is disabled.
  
• 
  Click on Apply and then Ok.
  
• 
  Restart the system and check if the issue is resolved.
  

Hope the information helps. Kindly write back to us for further assistance on Windows. We will be happy to assist you.
