I did it but nothing happened, is there a space between sid and >? does it matter (the space)?
When you say: "Upload the UserAccounts.txt file with your reply", do you mean upload in here?

Hi VistaKing here the .txt file
Ok let's see something in the registry . Click on the type REGEDIT inside Search programs and files box . When REGEDIT comes up under Programs (1) right click on REGEDIT and choose Run as administrator . On the User Access Control click the Yes button .
Inside the Registry navigate to
You will seeCode:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ♦ SOFTWARE ♦ Microsoft ♦ Windows NT ♦ CurrentVersion ♦ ProFileList
S-1-5-21-724269861-727063738-2825992131-1000 and others . Let me know if any of the SID keys end with .bak
Hi VistaKing my machine is incredibly slow!! besides here in old Europe is 3.00 a.m.
I will continue tomorrow and hopefully restore everything nicely.
When On the User Access Control it asked me the password of the old admin account (Matteo) and now the pc is blocked kind
Anyway thanks a lot for now, talk to you tomorrow (any chance to do a Vc or something faster?)
Looking at the UserAccounts.txt did you enable the hidden Administrator ? The SID key is
S-1-5-21-724269861-727063738-2825992131-500
Lets see something
Open up an Elevated Command Prompt. Click on type in CMD inside Search Programs and Files. Right click on CMD under Programs (1) choose Run as administrator . On the User Access Control window click on the Yes button . Command Prompt opens up to C:\Windows\System32>_
In the command prompt type in the command below
REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList" /s > %userprofile%\Desktop\UserAccounts.txtpress <ENTER>
NoteInclude the quotes inside the Command Prompt. There is a space before and after /s and a space after >
Upload the UserAccounts.txt file on long with your post . Should be located on the desktop .

Hi VistaKing,
attached the file you asked me.
In order to have it I had to run in safe mode with my old admin account as the new admin account in normal windows is very very slow and keeps asking for the password of the old admin account.
What are the next steps from here?
Thank you
Hi MadMatt71
Restart the PC a couple times . Log into an admin account . In Safe Mode
Go to the registry . Click on type REGEDIT inside the Search programs and files box . Right click on REGEDIT under Programs (1) choose Run as administrator .
Inside the registry navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\
Locate this folder
S-1-5-21-724269861-727063738-2825992131-1000.bak
Delete this key S-1-5-21-724269861-727063738-2825992131-1000.bak right click choose Delete then click Yes to confirm the deletion . Close the registry and restart the computer and try to log into your Matteo account . In normal mode
Hi VistaKing,
I've done it as suggested and now the PC is "thinking" so not a final answer yet.
Would like to add two comments:
1) Matteo is my original admin account and the only account I had, the one from the first day of use
2) madmatt is another admin account (without password) I've created after your advices
Before talking to you I tried the FIRST solution the Forum proposed for the issue, to modify the .bak and so on...but didn't work
Obviously when the laptop has finished I tell you if I ma still able to login normally to my original account- Matteo
