Windows 10: Windows 10 Admin Account

I currently log in with a PIN. However, something recently went haywire and it lost my PIN "not available" and could not log in using the admin account as it says it doesn't exist it is my old account. I tried recovering the account but it also says account does not exist. Now that I have resolved the PIN issue I would like to change the admin to my current account. How would I go about this?

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown

 

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

admin password?

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.
