Windows 10: Wrong Microsoft account is associated with Windows login. How do I fix?

When my wife logs into her Windows 11 computer the account is associated with her mother, not my wife. I've tried to add my wife's Microsoft account and remove her mother's but I see no option to allow me to do this.

What is the naming scheme for windows login associated to microsoft account ?

I was performing a `hydra` attack on my local network (laptop as host). I have a local account not associated with microsoft account and another account windows login associated with microsoft account. The password for both of the accounts is : `apple123` which is not the great password of course. Nevertheless, the more info

local account:

uname: shyam

account connected to microsoft windows login :

username at ms: san gam

gmail : *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

c:/users = SANGAM

For the local account 'hydra' was able to find username and password, but the one with ms connected is making me confused . I did try with all the usernames in the list `user.list` :

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***

san gam

SANGAM



But it was unable to find any user pass combination. Is that because I am not aware of windows username naming scheme in case it is associated with microsoft or ms account connected user account is blocking those attacks ? Coz, all the conditions are constant as compared to brute force on local account.

I am not here to ask detailed information on how `hydra` works, well i would not mind learning if any of you reach out to me for better suggestion. My primary concern is that am I missing knowledge on 'what would be the username if the account login is connected with microsoft account ?'.

Hi Ken,

To help fix the issue regarding with computer login, we suggest that you try the following:

• Press Windows + S.
• Type User Accounts and hit Enter.
• Click on the User account of your wife.
• In the prompt you can either click on keep files (which will keep a back up of all your files) or
  delete files (which will delete all the files associated with this account).
• Click on Delete Account.

Login Error - Wrong Microsoft Account Listed

I'm not sure how this happened, but my laptop shows the administrator account with the wrong email address, which does not belong to me, and I have no idea what the password is for that account. The laptop will not allow me to restore unless I have the
right credentials. I cannot access the settings or the start menu without first logging in. Since I do not have the password, I cannot login. I can't afford to lose my programs and files. Any suggestions on how to login using a different account that is
not listed?
