So I deleted the user account. Now when I turn on my cell latitude e5430 it asked for a user name and password. I have tried resetting the computer but it will not allow me to do that with out a password. I am stuck. Some one please help. I have held the shift button down while restarting. I have tried f8 to go in to recovery. But no matter what I hit it wants a password. What do I need to do to recover and be able to regain access to this laptop
You will need to contact Microsoft to get assistance in resolving your login issues.
If you have a Microsoft account
Online password reset: Go to the Microsoft password reset page on another device, select "I forgot my password," and follow the prompts to verify your identity and create a new password. You can also access this option from the Windows sign-in screen by clicking the "I forgot my password" link below the password field.
Unlock button:If your device is locked from a Microsoft account, you may see an unlock button on the device's settings or login screen that allows you to unlock it after verifying your account.
If you don't have a Microsoft account
Password reset disk:If you previously created a password reset disk, use it at the login screen to reset your password.
Security questions:For a local account, after entering an incorrect password, you may see a "Reset password" link that allows you to answer security questions to reset it.
Last resort: Reset your PC
Access recovery options:On the Windows login screen, hold down theShiftkey, click on the Power icon, and then select "Restart" while still holdingShift.
Select "Troubleshoot":After the PC restarts to a blue screen, select "Troubleshoot".
Choose to reset the PC:
Keep my files:This option will keep your personal files but may require your current admin password, which you may not remember.
Remove everything:This will erase all your files, apps, and settings, but it will remove the password and give you a fresh start. This is recommended if you are giving the PC away or can't remember the admin password.
Reinstall Windows:The computer will reboot and go through the setup process, where you will need to re-enter your Microsoft account details or create a new local account.
