Hello,

After 1001 years of absence, I thought I’d come and bother you.

I’m really not up to date with Windows despite a few bases still buried in my head anyway

I have my friend’s computer, who tells me: I can’t log into the session anymore.

No worries, I create a test account and see where it gets stuck and well, it gets stuck right away! I'll let you judge the screenshot.

Thanks to anyone who stops by my post, I'm going to take a look in the Mac section ^^

Have a nice day.

GABIN

Hello,

What else?

When we restart the PC, does it offer the choice between several users or just Lidia, where we have to enter the password manually or is it automatic?

At what level does the failure occur, does this account not appear or does it refuse the password?

In supplementary observation, you cannot create a new account from a non-administrator account (nor activate the hidden administrator account).

Where does the test account come from, the new account (therefore not possible to validate without an administrator account) or the Lidia account that has been renamed (and where it is then "normal" for the user files to be named Lidia)?

If for one reason or another all administrator accounts have been deleted, there is no other solution than to back up the files and reinstall Windows (without loss if it is accepted) from an installation key.

Hello, thanks for your response, planning to add with utilman.exe

net localgroup /add test

I've indeed backed up the data so I can either delete it or remove the session permanently to create a new one, it’s mainly for the preferences that I didn't want to kill the session too much.

So it doesn’t seem possible to add the user to recreate the link?

If I do: net user "lidia" "1234" /add

Does that create a new session or will the PC recognize that a session with the same name exists and activate it?

From memory it’s a Standard edition so no access to Local Users and Groups in lusrmgr after maybe I'm wrong

EDIT: the account is indeed visible I have two sessions I enter the password lidia denied I enter the test password ok

And when I want to remove the lidia password I don't have all the information as we can see in the screenshot.

Thanks again

If you don't want to tinker with the command line, to force the account manager on Windows Home:

https://www.malekal.com/lusrmgr-msc-gestion-utilisateurs-groupes-locaux-windows-10-11/

It doesn't matter, if the NET commands work, it's because we are logged in under an administrator account.

For your password cooking for the lidia account, it seems to me that /ADD only adds it if it doesn't exist.

A NET USER lidia NewPassword syntax

might suffice, to test, to create a new password.

Or you can remove the requirement:

WMIC useraccount where name='lidia' set PasswordRequired=false


In doubt, we can delete the existing account with /DELETE and then recreate it.

Be careful, the localgroup command is defective, it adds a group of users, not a user, check the situation in lusrmgr after installing it.

Okay, thank you very much. It's not as easy as it used to be, but I understand everything you're saying.

I'll try it tonight and give you feedback.

Thanks anyway for your very clear answers.
