Windows 10: Win10 Login to Hidden Username

I've read just about everything I can find on this issue, but I just don't see the actual answer.


I have created a username and I have configured it NOT to show in the list of users at the initial login screen. Now what I need to be able to do, is to open my hidden username, and signin with my password. Under Win7 this was possible by typing Ctrl-Alt-Delete twice, but with Win10 it doesn't work. Please help me with this. It has to be something easy, but I just don't see it.


Thanks in advance.

Forget hidden Administrator Account Password-Windows 10

Thank you for providing the details. You can change the password of the hidden admin account by following the steps below.

• Press Windows key and type "cmd".
• Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
• Type this command: net user "UserName" "NewPassword".
  
  Type "administrator" in the "Username" and type the password that you want in the
  "NewPassword".
• Retype the password that you've created and close the Command Prompt.

These steps are intended for local accounts. And since the hidden admin account is considered a local account, you can apply these steps.

Let us know how that turned out for you.
