    microsoft update deleted my user account


    a little over a year ago I was using a dell OptiPlex 760, I noticed it was missing features and after hours of talking to support we found out it was miscrosoft enterprise and they gave me a license for windows pro instead which I installed, it worked fine until I lost my password to my gmail account and couldn't recover it, I spent a long time trying to recover it, then one day windows had to update, and it froze and deleted my pc user account, so I had to reinstall windows since I didn't have any backups, I started working on a gaming pc and used the hdd from the OptiPlex for it, then just recently I finished the build and am trying to get my license back

    Deleting User Accounts

    If you can access the admin account through safe mode then all you have to do to remove the other account passwords is go into User Accounts in the control panel and either delete the accounts or, I'm not sure, remove the account passwords.

    Facebook Allows Users to Delete Accounts

    Yes, for quite some time, once you had a Facebook account, it wasn't going anywhere. Now, fortunately for college students and people with no attention span everywhere, Facebook now allows said people to delete their Facebook accounts. This was in direct response to user complaints about not being able to delete their accounts, if desired. Even if users were able to delete their own accounts, there were no obvious directions on how to do that. Another reason that Facebook decided to allow users to delete their accounts was a reason that could have gotten Facebook sued if they did not address it: privacy. The "I didn't actually make a Facebook" E-mails were really racking up in Facebook's inbox, and Facebook sometimes made it all too easy for people to research intimate/private/personal details of users' lives. At this point, deleting your account is just a help-page away. Facebook admins are considering adding a "delete account" button.
