First, you forgot password?

#

Did you have your Microsoft account?

pulsar zephyr Nov 1, 2022, 9:48 AM

#

Okay so if the computer is locked then your account won't show up. Get your dad to sign in and log off the account, or restart the computer and your account will show back up

slim wolf Nov 1, 2022, 9:50 AM

#

One account means? It's weird usually It's sowing multiple user accounts

pulsar zephyr Nov 1, 2022, 9:50 AM

#

No Windows just doesn't let other users sign in if the active user has the session locked.

It didnt work

pulsar zephyr Nov 1, 2022, 10:04 AM

#

If you rebooted the computer, clicked sign in options, and nothing is there, then either your dad deleted your account or doesn't want you in it. I'm not comfortable offering any more help since it sounds like it isn't your laptop. There are only advanced troubleshooting options left.

You're probably looking at the first answer. You also probably have Win11 Home. The first answer won't work for you.

Take note of your user account's username and how it is shown in this result
