    Win 10 does not recognize my admin account


    Hi! I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10 and as a result Win 10 does not recognize my admin account (I was using fingerprint to access it without a password), and now it does not open with fingerprint and does not accept any possible passwords. Moreover, I cannot use advanced startup options as it still requires admin password to enter that mode. As a result I can only access now one non-admin user account and cannot install or remove anything! What shall I do with it? I do not want to reset the system and lose all my files.

    :)

    Please help - this is a major problem!!

    Win 10 does not recognize my admin account

    Hello.
    You might want to check if you're capable of re-installing your fingerprint driver in the non-admin account. Otherwise try:
    • Booting into safe-mode
    • Going back to windows , you can do that if you installed Windows 10 and had it for less than 30 days.
    • Resetting your pc. Probably the only way if none above works.
