Here’s a step-by-step guide to fixing common Windows installation problems related to user authentication:

Problem 1: Unable to Log In due to Incorrect Password

Solution:

1. Check the login credentials and ensure that the username matches the one in the system settings.

2. Try resetting the password for the account using the built-in „Forgot Password” feature (if available).

3. If the issue persists, try booting the computer in Safe Mode with Administrator privileges to troubleshoot.

Additional Steps:

+ Check the event logs for any error messages related to authentication issues.

+ Use the Command Prompt or PowerShell to check if there are any incorrect permissions or user accounts.

Problem 2: User Account Missing After Installation

Solution:

1. Run the built-in „Windows Setup” tool (usually found in Start > All Programs > Windows).

2. Check the installation log to ensure that everything went smoothly.

Additional Steps:

+ Try running the Command Prompt or PowerShell with elevated privileges to see if the user account is still present.

Problem 3: Unable to Set Up User Account due to Missing or Incorrect Group Membership
