    Locked out of windows


    Several problems have brought me to this point, and it started when I wanted to change my pin and this is my first problem as somehow the pin option has disappeared from my sign in options. So in an effort to solve this I delete the ncg folder as advised. I successfully did this but the problem was still not fixed so I tried sorting out my password, but its linked to an email that I don’t have the password for and im assuming whatever password it was, its the password for the user since what I would have definitely used as the password for my user did not work.

    I thought to log out and check the log in screen and god knows why I went through with it, now im locked out. I thought to try and log into another user but heres the second problem all the other users are no longer there, only the user I cant sign into and I cant try and reset the password.

    Another problem is my mouse clicks dont work on the login screen and also doesnt work on automatic repair making it a pain to use since i cant go back by using escape or anything.

    :)

    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
