Missing user accounts on Windows start up / login screen - please help
OK, so I fear I may have messed up a bit, but I'm hoping the gurus on here will save me...
Previously (until 10 mins ago!) when switching my laptop on I was prompted with the login screen where I could select either the Administrator account or my own personal account.
I decided that I wanted to hide the Administator account and have only my personal account at startup / login, so began searching online for a how-to, and found this:
How to hide the administrator account in Windows - How-To - PC Advisor
Followed it step-by-step to the end and then restarted my laptop. Now when I switch the laptop on I am prompted with a blank Windows username and password login screen.
Now of course this wouldn't be a problem if I had a username or password, but unfortunately I do not and currently have no way of getting back in to my own account.
Please can someone shed some light on this? I would be forever grateful!
Thanks in advance
