    Lost Username


    Hello.
    I have Windows 10 Pro laptop and for some reason, the login screen just shows Other User and asks for username and password. It used to show the username and I just had to enter the password. I never bothered to note it down.

    I have the password and not the username. How can I find out? Panicking here as I can't work *Sad

    It is not Admin or Administrator. I have tried it. The username is CompanyNameXXX. So something like Microsoft1944 or Microsoft2393. The thing is due to remote work the small company I work for is badly organized and I will have to ship, take time off, and then wait.

    I know the password. Just need the username!

    :)

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

    I decided that it would be cool to create a list of techpowerup! member's Spore usernames so that we could add eachother to a great big networked spore universe.
    At any rate, feel free to discuss anything and everything Spore related and post screenshots!

    I'll start the list off:

    • TPU*Stick Out Tongue Lost Username :prudent Princess

    • TPU: ShadowFold
      SPORE: Shadowfold
    • TPU: Triprift

    I lost my contacts

    Hi John,

    Regarding your issue with contact list that is lost in Windows live mail, we suggest to check this thread:

    Contacts list disappeared from Windows Live Mail    . Look for MikeSTL and ¡Firedog answers. It contains troubleshooting steps pertaining to the issue.

    We look forward to your response.
