I bought a laptop tonight and during the setup of
windows, I created one account titled "Everyone". When
the couputer reboot after the completion of the setup, no
accounts appear on the screen. It asks me to click on an
account but they aren't there.

How do I fix this?
 
anonymous:

There are several built in accounts and groups and other names reserved
by the OS. You should never use these names when creating accounts or
groups. "Everyone" is one of them. When you tried to create the
account you should have got an error message indicating that the account
could not be created.

For a list of existing names do the following:
1. On a NTFS partition open the "Properties" of a file or folder
2. click on the "Security" tab
3. Click on the "ADD" button
4. The "Select Users and Group" window will open click on the "Advance"
button
5. Ensure that the Object types are "Users, Groups, or Built-in security
principals" then click on the "Find Now" button.
6. All the names will be listed at the bottom of the window.
You should *not* try to create a user or group with any of these names.
This also includes users and groups that you have previously created.
As stated above the system should not allow you to do but if you have
found a way to do this don't.
