  1. Inadvertently edited local security user policy and now I am not able to login


    Hello there,I was working on my Windows 10 laptop and I made changes to the security policy by clicking windows tool >Local Policies >Security Option >interactive logon Don't display last sign in>enabled.Now I have been logged out and not able to login to my computer anymore. I did not set up any user login and it was general HP login without any password / username. I tried to login using my registered Windows email account and password but no luck. Please help me to login back to my laptop.

    :)

  2. Not able to login to the system after changing the Registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE local Policies and Local User not showing up on login screen

    Hi, I have purchased a new Lenovo Thinkpad for one of our team members. Accordingly a local user was created by the Admin user (myself). However, at login time, this user was not getting listed (and instead only an "Other user" option was available besides the Admin user.)

    To address this, while browsing through possible solutions in online forums, I came across instructions, which edited the Policies for Windows through Registry edit to change the value of a parameter for 'dontdisplaylastusername" to "1" (from the previous default of "0"). However, after making the change, on restarting the laptop, it only shows "Other user" to login, and no sign of the Admin User. As I don't know this "Other user" username or password, I am stuck in a situation that I can't even login the machine now.

    Kindly assist with the following:

    1) to be able to login back as the Administrator and 2) Be able to resolve the original issue of the system showing the Local User on the login screen.
