Windows 10: Login with temporary account

Hallo everyone

I got a big problem after i tried to chance name of pc in regedit.

I'm always connected with temporary account and can't access my data.

I tried safe mode, deactivate anti-virus and crating secondary account and making it administrator and transferring data but nothing was helpful.

Is there another way to solve this problem.

Thanks.

How to change temporary account to permanent account in Windows 10.

Hello Joan,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will assist you in resolving the issue.

Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• 
  What do you mean by “temporary profile”?
  
• 
  Are you logged into a temporary user profile?
  

If you are logged in into a temporary profile, I suggest you to reboot the PC and check if the issue is resolved. If the issue persists, I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

Step 1: Enable built-in administrator account.

• 
  Open Elevated command prompt by entering
  Safe mode with Command prompt. To go to safe mode, use the power button on the sign-in screen and press
  Shift + Restart. This will take you to the recovery boot menu. Click
  Troubleshoot> Advanced options> Startup settings.
  You then see a list where you can choose Safe Mode with Command prompt.
  
• 
  Type the following command: net user administrator /active:yes
  
• 
  Login into the built in administrator user profile and create a new user profile with administrator privileges.
  
• 
  Delete the corrupted user account from the built in administrator.
  
• 
  Then lock your screen by pressing Windows key + L, and sign-in at the
  Administrator account.
  
• 
  Check if the issue persist and you can disable built in administrator account by typing the command:
  net user administrator /active:no
  in the Command prompt (Admin).
  

Step 2: To create a new user account
follow the steps below:

• 
  Open Elevated command prompt by right clicking on the
  Start icon and select Command prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type net user NewAccount password /add
  and click Enter.
  
• 
  Type net localgroup Administrators NewAccount /add and click
  Enter.

  Log off from the system and login to the new user account.
