I sent in my Envy X360 under warranty to replace the fan as it was overheating. Now that the laptop is back in my possession I am unable to enter my user id credentials at sign in. It's always the HP User sign in that appears. I have no idea what is going on, need some help.
Thanks!

Hello @IH8myEnvy360
Thank you for posting in the HP Support Community.
When you send your unit for repair, they usually erase the data (everything) on the HDD (source). So, once you have it back, you won't be able to login to your account just like that (because your account and data is no longer there back on the drive).
You need to reinstall your Windows via the means of Microsoft reinstallation or via HP Cloud Recovery.
- For the Microsoft way, please, check the attached PDF file below
- For HP Cloud Recovery, please check this >> https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06162205
After that, during the Windows setup, you should be able to configure your Microsoft account or set up a new local account.
Hope this helps
