User Profiles

[Lyls]

When I first powered up my new Dell Inspiron 1420, it asks for a user name.
It stores it as the administrator user name. I changed it under user
profiles, but when I go to "user accounts" and click on the "configure
advanced user profile" tab on the left, it shows the original name I had
entered upon startup. Is there a way to change it to what I want it to be?

Changing the name of a user account is cosmetic only. The change will be
reflected at the log in screen and in Control Panel/User Accounts, but the
system will still display and recognize the old user account name only.

If you open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Users\youraccount, you will see
that the old name is still being used.

So is there any way to change it, even though it's just cosmetic?

use the admin account you can log on with and reset the other other accounts
password using MMC. or you can delete the account and make ur self a new
one. The problem is that you have used the wrong password or misspelled it
and the account has been disabled.
for remote assistance use this email to find me on windows messanger
