Windows 10: Unable to log in to administrator account

Hi,I run Windows 10 on a PC. The only account set up is my administrator account which I have been logging into with a PIN. After a power cut today when I rebooted the PC I got a message saying "something happened and your PIN isn't available". Nothing happened when I tried "set up my PIN" option so I then tried logging in with my Microsoft account password, which it said was incorrect. I then reset my Microsoft account password and still no success.I can't get into Windows settings or any of the troubleshooting options without logging into my account, which I can't do.Any ideas.?Patrick B

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 

unable to log in to Windows 10 administrator account

In this case, we suggest that you to enable the built in administrator account on your computer. Using the hidden administrator account, you can set the standard user back into an administrator account. Follow the steps below to easily enable the built in
administrator account:

• Open an elevated Command Prompt by pressing Windows + X then select
  Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• On the Command Prompt, type Net user administrator /active:yes.
• Close the Command Prompt. The built in administrator account can now be accessed by clicking your user name on Start and then click on
  Administrator account. The Administrator account will also appear on the login screen.
  

Note: To disable the built administrator account, simply type Net user administrator /active:no on elevated
Command Prompt, as this is not advised to use be used as the a normal administrator account.


We're glad to assist if you have further concerns.

 

unable to log in to Windows 10 administrator account

I'm running Windows 10 on a desktop computer. I established a new administrator account (new admin) and then changed my normal user account to a standard account. Now, I can't log in to the new administrator account so I'm unable to make certain changes
to my computer (e.g., installing new software). When I type in the password for my administrator account, I receive an error indicating the "User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded." Suggestions?
