Windows 10: Locked out of windows 10 Stuck on login page

Hi, I updated my w10 laptop the other day and when it had finished, I had found out that my account had been turned to temporary.

Yesterday I deleted this temporary account and the account is still on the login screen.

I entered the password and it says that the password is incorrect.

I have tried:


adding a new user from the safe mode command prompt. This didn't appear on the login screen


Enabling the inbuilt administrator. This also didn't appear on the login screen.


I have also attempted to factory reset it and it says that it has failed.


I don't have any other account on my laptop.


Is there a way to fix this?


Please get back soon.

:)

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

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!
