2024 Defaultuser0 Password Fix on Dell/HP/Lenovo Laptop

Microsoft is launching the all-new Windows 11 22H2 update that will be completely free and it is going to be the powerhouse for productivity. Installing a new Windows gives you peace of mind that your computer will work properly and won’t crash into errors. But as soon as you install a fresh Windows, it asks you about Defaultuser0 password right off the bat which you never even set up in the first place.

Defaultuser0 is the account that is created by the system itself during the installation stages of Windows. It’s a temporary profile and it must get deleted automatically as soon as the user creates a personal user profile while setting up Windows.

If it doesn’t get disposed of and Windows asks you to enter the Defaultuser0 password, it’s time to use UnlockGo – Windows Password Recovery to remove the Defaultuser0 account without logging in.

Way 1. Reinstall/Revert Windows OS

Let’s have a look at the detailed guide on how to follow these solutions and what are the possible steps.

Since the Defaultuser0 password is a system-based error, the best solution is to reinstall or revert your Windows operating system. Both the methods will do the job pretty effectively. You can either move to the previous version of Windows or reinstall Windows from scratch.

To reinstall the Windows OS, you’d need a bootable USB drive or a CD loaded with Windows files. Insert the USB flash drive into the computer and restart it. When it boots up, press the button that opens the boot-device selection (Esc/F10/F12). Continue installing the fresh Windows to fix the Defaultuser0 issue.

Way 2. Create Another Account

Creating another account might fix the problem, but the problem is that you can’t access Settings to do that. Well, there is one way you can create another account from the boot menu using bootable device media.

• Create a bootable USB flash drive or use Windows CD/DVD and insert it into your computer.
• Boot your computer with the USB flash drive you just attached.
• Select keyboard layout and set date & time.
• In the next window, click on the ‘Repair your computer’ button from the bottom left side.
• Select the ‘troubleshoot’ option and click Advanced Options.
• Select the Command Prompt and execute the following command:

net user administrator /active:yes

• Once it’s executed. Close the command prompt and restart your computer.
• Make sure that you either remove the USB bootable drive or boot your system with an internal drive (not a bootable one or CD/DVD).
• On the login page, you must be able to bypass the defaultuser0 profile. Log in with your built-in administrator account, create a new administrator account and delete both the built-in administrator and the defaultuser0 profiles.
• If you’re having defaultuser0 password on Lenovo or any other device, this method will work just fine.

Once you remove the defaultuser0 profile and get access to your computer, you can also change the default administrator password of your PC.

Way 3. Reset System/Restart PC

Before resetting your system, make sure you have a secure backup of it. Remove the drives from your system, store their data on another computer, and install them back in.

• Turn on your system. On the login screen, click on the Power button.
• Hold down the shift key and click on Restart.
• Keep holding the Shift key until you see Windows Recovery Environment.
