    My user accounts are no longer functional


    My computer, Windows 10, was frozed so I was forced to do a hard reboot.

    When it came back up it, the login was different. It asked for a password rather than my pin and the password does not work.

    There are no other login options.


    I was able to use a Windows 10 install disk to fire up a command prompt, but Windows no longer seems to know about my account.

    The folder is still there in c:\Users but I can't seem to find any profiles for my account in the registry.


    Any ideas?

    :)
