Windows 10: Windows user account access blocked

We changed the PIN for our user account as we do regularly. On this occasion however, when we tried to log on there is a message saying our password was changed on another PC and we need to log in to that PC to get access to our usual computer. Attempts to reset the password opened up a wizard directing us to our backup drive which did nothing.We can still get in via our Microsoft account but what is going on with the User account?

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

 

Can't access my home user account on Windows 10.

We also suggest that you follow these steps on how to Enable Built-in Administrator

• A Command Prompt window will open.
• Type in or copy and paste this command:
  • net user administrator /active:yes
• Press Enter. Close the Command Prompt.
• Sign out with your current account and try to sign in using Administrator.
