Windows 10: Other user as a start up page after changing the language of the system

Hello everyone,So I recently took a laptop from a colleague who used windows in Russian. I decided to switch the language to English, but after the pc restarted I could not log in to the device. I cannot find my user profile.I think this has to with the fact that by switching to English I 'erased' the original user name which was in Russian. I assume the user profile is still there, but how can I access the administrator account? All I get is the page 'other user', even after restarting the laptop several times. Thank you in advance,

:)

Maybe, these will help... it seems it is a common enough problem.
