[QUOTE="Trouble, post: 33991, member: 3"] I'm wondering if you might have been using a microsoft account on Windows 10 and since Windows 7 does not support that, maybe you account name is not correct. Have you checked to make sure that what you are entering into the user name box of the authentication / sign-in screen is correct? Are there any other accounts on the computer? You might try something like this [URL]http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/[/URL] To either clear the local account password or enable the hidden administrator account so you can at least log on with that and sort out the password / account problems from there.
