Windows 10: New PC with preloaded Win 10 - defaultuser0 is only account

Bought new PC with preloaded Win 10 - defaultuser0 is the only account. When I tried to use recovery tools such as command prompt or restore point I do not have option to use them because I am only given option to login as defaultuser0 and cant. I dont want to try resetting Windows because the PC manufacturer did not provide a registration key. I shouldn't have to pay $200 to get a new key when it was supposed to come preinstalled.

Back-up error ivm defaultuser0 (Windows 10)

Hi Ingrid,

Defaultuser0 is a user account neither part of any user group nor it have any profile. Considering these, it is safe to remove it. There’s a possibility that the error occurs because the folders are not present
on the computer.

Before removing it, we suggest that you Create a local user or
administrator account in Windows 10 and copy the important files on the new user account.

Go to the Advanced User Accounts Control Panel, and check if the
defaultuser0 is present there. If yes, we need to remove it. You can follow the steps below:

• Open the Run Box (right click on the
  Start button and select Run).
• Type netplwiz and click OK.
• You will see this window. Select defaultuser0 and click
  Remove.

If the defaultuser0 is not listed on the box. We’re going to use the command prompt to do it.

• Type cmd on the Cortana/Search bar. Right click on
  Command prompt and click Run as administrator.
• Click Yes on the pop up of User Account Control.
• Type net user /deleteuser0 and hit
  Enter.

After deleting the defaultuser0, please try to back up again.

We’ll keep an eye for your response.
