Windows startup- unlock computer screen - how to change name that appears?
I fixed an older laptop. It's working great. But at startup the old owner name appears in User Name (no password needed). It's a small irritation but still... I tried going in under Users on Control Panel and changed Administrator to my name but it didn't change the other name on startup...any ideas? Thanks! 1 person needs an answerI do too
