'Username appears on logon but nowhere else
I'm running win10 and originally I had it set up not to need a password so it would just boot straight into the desktop. Then I decided to see if an email I expected had been sent to an old Hotmail account I haven't used for ages. Microsoft took me through a recovery process for the Hotmail account and eventually I was able to get back into it BUT next time I tried to logon the machine stopped at the logon page and showed 2 users - one looked like the original one I had been using and the other was for my Microsoft account complete with the icon I used to use.
I selected what I think was my old logon and without entering a password I just pressed enter - got kicked out with a wrong password. The forgot password option did not appear. Tried every password I have used in the past and the one for the new ms account - none work!
Logged in on the new ms account and then went searching for the other account using all the methods suggested on the web - it does not exist anywhere. How can I get rid of this account so I can get back into not having to use a password?
