I recently rebuilt my computer with the recovery setting to save my files. recovery worked just fine.
when i reboot the computer the first log is a built in Administrator account. not the account i restarted the computer with. after logging in and locking or logging out of my account the administrator account disapears, and only my account is shown.
the administrator account does not show up when i go to account settings in control panel. i have tried my password on the account and it does not work.
my system is windows 10 64bit home. so i do not have access to the profiles in computer manager.
Any suggestions.

Hi
Wipe and re-install.
Make a USB stick using the Microsoft Creator Tool.

You have the ability to make Data backups?
If in doubt please ask.
