    Only have 'other user ' on login page


    I switched off today and switched back on and now have only 'other user' on the login page. All of my normal user logins have disappeared

    So, I cannot get past this.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks

    Hello Eddie, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You might see if doing a system restore using a restore point (if available) dated before this happened may be able to help.

    If the above is not an available option for you, then you might see if the tutorial below may be able to help even though you only have the "other user" part.

    Logon Screen - Fix Showing Only "Other User" and Last Logged On User

    Hope this helps, :)

    Hi

    Thanks for the reply.

    I've done a system restore by booting from my W7 disk.

    The fix suggested is not available to me because I cannot get past the login page with only having 'Other User' as a login option.

    I guess what I'm looking for is a back door.

    Regards

    If you able to boot into Safe Mode, you could try it in it.

    Hmm, ok. Enable the built-in Administrator account in WinRE, then see if it may be an option at login in at startup or Safe Mode. Did you have older restore points that you could try?

    Nar, drive letters are not always the same at boot as they are in Windows. While in the command prompt at boot, type the commands in bold below to see what your Windows drive letter is, and use that letter instead. :)
    • Diskpart and press Enter
    • list volume and press Enter
    • you should see drive letter now
    • exit and press Enter
