  1. Spare account on login that I didn't create


    Around 1-2 days ago I noticed there was a spare account on my login screen with no profile picture or anything. I've got no clue what made it because I didn't, I have auto-login enabled which as weirdly been disabled and now I have to enter my pin to login. I'm not used to seeing my login screen so this account could've been there a while. When I reboot or start-up a message pops up saying "We are unable to connect right now. please check your network and try again later." but if I login to this account it takes me to my normal account.

    :)

  2. UserUser Win User

    I can-t login to my account

    https://screenshot.it.sftcdn.net/it/...01-700x416.jpg
    I know the pin but it does not login. I tried the system recovery but it did not work and I hope I didn-t delete anything by doing that.
    This problem started because I wanted to change my account name
    C:\Users\name\Desktop
    C:\Users\name2\Desktop
    and I did that by following these istructions
    Rename user account folder
    and
    Advanced User Accounts control panel
    the Managing User Account names from Control Panel dind-t work

    now I-m in a temporary account I think
    here I can find my original username
    C:\Users
    and then the name I wanted to change it with.

    I-m in trouble please help me!!

  3. Unable to create account

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    To understand the issue better, I suggest you to answer the below questions.

    • How are you trying to access this option?
    • Do you have any other accounts that you are able to login?
    Try to Enable the Hidden Admin account:

    From Login Screen try the below steps.


    • On the sign-in screen, hold the Shift key down
      while you select Power > Restart
      (in the lower-right corner of the screen).

    • After your PC restarts to the Choose an option screen, select
      Troubleshoot
      > Advanced options >
    • Click on Command Prompt, type the command and click
      enter.

    • net user Administrator /active:yes
      (there is a space after administrator)
    Restart the computer to login to admin account
    and then create new user account and check.

    Keep us posted to help you better.

    Creating or signing in to microsoft account

    Hi Gloria,

    The error code that your are getting when adding an account is usually caused by the following:

    • Your phone has an incorrect date and time set.
    • You do not have a data connection.
    • Your phone is in a "bad state."
    We suggest that you follow the steps on this link to set up your Microsoft
    Account on your device.

    Keep us posted for further assistance.
