Locked Out of My PC

Locked Out of My PC

Postby Capularis » 25.09.2016, 17:32

Last night I downloaded this program, ran the update and install steps, and selected the auto reboot and recall option. This morning when I come to my PC it's at a lock screen and the only account option is the WOUTempAdmin user. My normal admin account is no where to be found. I selected Other User and tried to type in my standard user admin name and password, but the computer is not recognizing my standard credentials. How do I get back into my PC with my credentials?

It's worth noting that I have been using the most current version of WSUS Offline. I am not super tech savy. I was having problems doing Windows updates, and I found this program on a tech forum. I also do not have a Windows install/boot disk.

Could you try again? Be sure to check the CAPS-lock.

The same thing happened to me. I am locked out of my PC from WSUS offline updates "other user" options, which is not my admin login. I only used this WSUSoffline app because Windows Update was frozen.

I booted up in safe mode, and chose "Repair PC" option. This allows you to login with your admin account. Following this, I selected a system restore point before installing WSUSoffline. Restore point wouldn't work, however, it did manage to let me log back in using my admin account.

good luck!

If you select "other user", you are able to enter your own login data.

Same issue. Everytime the PC reboots its try to auto login with the WOUTempAdmin account. There is no WOUTempAdmin account in the user accounts or the registry. How do I disable the auto login your program setup.

Running the CleanupRecall script in the Client/cmd directory fixed the issue.
