    No users visible in Local Users and Groups


    After forgetting the local administrator password, I followed that guide for offline editing the SAM registry file. This clearly caused a problem, because no I see no users in LUAG as per the attached. All the accounts work fine, except the built-in administrator account which I can't do anything with (if I try to enable it using the 'net user' command, net crashes).

    I suspect I may just have to live with this, but does anyone have any suggestions about how to 'clean' the administrator account in the registry so that LUAG works again?

    Thanks

    :)

    Local users and groups not available in upgraded Windows 10

    Unfortunately, no, I couldn't figure out how to fix it without reinstalling the OS. (Did a refresh).

    That fixed my specific issue, but it still acts "differently" than installing a fresh PRO install. Quirky...sometimes things work as expected... sometimes they "revert" back to original settings when ever the OS updates itself.

    Check your Windows version!

    If you have the Windows 10 Home edition, then it will not have Local Users and Groups (lusrmgr.msc) included in it. It's only available in the Pro and Enterprise editions instead.

    What command(s) you use to activate the Administrator?
