Windows 10: User locked

I have tried changing the username then when i restarted the laptop the username isnt changed and its not accepting the pw anymore. I tried using the restore there i saw the name that i used to change the username and it did accept the pw. I tried restarting and rebooting the laptop but the same...i ended up to restoring it and big problem again because it ended up to a username that i cant even remember the pw. Please help

:)

 

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

Switch user from lock screen

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to switch user from lock screen. I’ll certainly help you with the steps.



Once you lock the computer, to switch from one user account to another from the lock screen, select the user name from the list of available users at the bottom left of the sign-in screen, enter the credentials to sign-in.



Below is a screenshot of lock screen for reference:









However, if you wish to switch user without locking the computer, refer the steps mentioned in the article
