    If you are unable to log into the second Windows screen and need assistance with accessing alternate Windows login credentials, you might consider the following steps:

    1. Check User Credentials: Ensure that you are entering the correct username and password for the alternate account.
    2. Use System Restore: If you recently changed your password or made changes that might have affected your ability to log in, you can use the System Restore feature to revert your system to a previous state where you could log in successfully. This can be done by booting from a Windows installation media and selecting the System Restore option.
    3. Safe Mode: Try to boot into Safe Mode, which can sometimes allow you to log in with alternate credentials or troubleshoot the issue further.
    4. Reset Password: If you have access to another administrator account, you can reset the password for the account you are trying to access.
    5. Create a New Account: If you cannot access the alternate credentials, consider creating a new user account from another administrator account if available.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, further troubleshooting may be necessary based on the specific error messages or behaviors you are experiencing.

    Hello Keith Rizman

    To manage or access alternate credentials, please open the Windows Credential Manager (found in Control Panel or by searching “Credential Manager” in the Start menu). From there, you can view, add, or edit stored credentials used for network resources, applications, or remote connections. If you are attempting to log in with a different account, you can also select “Other User” at the Windows sign-in screen and enter the appropriate username and password. For enterprise environments, please ensure that your IT administrator has provisioned the necessary accounts and permissions.

    I hope this helps resolve your issue, and if you find this answer useful, please don’t forget to click **“Accept Answer”**🙂
