    I am stuck behind a separate user account on my PC


    Hello,I have 4 accounts on my personal PC. I wanted to go through them and delete any I thought were unnecessary. The first one I went to called "App Dev" I forgot the password and tried too many times. Now I can't logon on to anything else. Every time I boot up or restart my PC it will only show the "App Dev" account. The option to try and log on to the other three accounts is gone.I have tried the reset password, but the 3 questions keep saying "one or more of you answers is incorrect". Anytime I go to the Advanced Settings and try to go to safe mode, it brings me back to try and logon the "

    I am stuck behind a separate user account on my PC

    What User Account should I use for PC to be sold

    I'm going to sell my PC but before I do, I'm going to put a clean install on the machine. As part of a normal installation steps, you normally login to your MS Account. But I don't want to put my account on the machine, I'm hoping you have a solution that will allow me to put some local/temp user account that the new owner can then login with their MS account name and password after they purchase the PC.

    I looked through the User Tutorials but nothing jumped out at me.

    What do you suggest?

    Greg
