  1. Windows 10 Login Dilemna


    Greetings


    I recently cleared my Lenova Thinkpad of all my personal apps and information with the intention of selling it.

    In error, while trying to delete my user credentials, I deleted the USER account under which my profile had been stored.


    When i tried to log back in, thining of the old Windows 7 login page with users displayed, I assumed there would be a Guest account to log into.


    However when I restarted my laptop, it came up with my profile and password login.

    When I entered my password I got the message "Incorrect Password" .


    I was unable to get past the log in stage.


    In desperation i created a partition on my hard drive and installed an old version of Windows 7 in order to just access my computer.

    As my Laptop was purchased at a dogy computer outlet, I was not given the original Windows 10 disk.


    Please help.

    Thank you

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
