  3. Restore local account ?

    Hi,

    We apologize for not being able to address your concern in a timely manner.

    I would suggest you to check if your old account is displayed in the list of Manage Accounts.

    Follow the below steps to check:

    • Right click on the Start button and select
      Control Panel
      .
    • Click on the User Accounts.
    • Click on Manage Accounts and check if you are able to view your old account.
    If you’re old account is not present in the Manage Accounts list then, you may not be able to recover the old account. If you’re old account is present in the Manage Accounts list then you can find that account on the bottom left
    corner on the Lock screen.
