Windows 10: Windows 10: "Other User" login error

I have a corporate machine running Windows 10 that I am not able to login as 'Other User' on the startup screen. It keeps saying "The user name or password is incorrect.", even though I was able to login to the Microsoft site using the same credentials. I've tried using two other keyboards, the one in Ease of Access and a separate external one.

  What exactly happens when you try to login with new user account?

  Are you getting any error message?

I suggest you to Enable
the built in Administrator account in Windows 10, and then try to create new user account and check if it helps.

I suggest you to refer the steps below and check if it helps

• 
  Press Windows+ X, select
  Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.
  
• 
  When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
  
• 
  At the command prompt, type net user administrator /active: yes, and then press Enter.
  
• 
  Type net user administrator
  <Password>, and then press Enter.
  
  Note In this command, <Password> represents the actual password that you want to set for the administrator account.

  Log off the current user account. And login and check whether your able to login to windows or not.

Windows users at login

I cannot see all of my user accounts on the login screen on a new Windows 10 laptop. I have an account for my son and it does not appear as a user on the login screen. It is listed if I display the users with the CMD prompt. The only account I see is my
account which is an admin. His account is a user. All the suggestions I've seen are not available on home edition.

 

Windows 10 User Error

TY all for the ideas suggestions, and i didnt ignore your question, i somewhat answered. Running sfc after DISM fixed some corrupted files which greatly increased the speed, I ran another malwarebytes scan after which found a few more pups, and 1 trojan. Still failing to login on just the main profile I transfered all the files to another one I made which it did let me log into, so problem solved. The reprofiler sounds like it may have been worth a try, the windows auto repair didnt work though.
