Local users can't login

Hi Everyone,

 

I want to have another user in my machine but I want it as local user. I have created an account as administrator and enter a password. But once I login to Windows 11 it is always saying that incorrect username and password. Reset everything and same thing is happening. 

 

Hope someone can help me with this.

  • You said you created another user and tried login but can't, so can you still login to older account or you can't login to both atm?

    Also, share if this system is connected to work or school account.

      I can login to the other account since it's an email and Microsoft Account while the created user is just a local user with administrator account.

        Okay, so reset new user account password or give a try with another new account.

    Is your PC part of domain or company network?
    Check and see if the account is disable or not?

        Have you checked the event viewer to see if there is any relevant issue?
        Would you mind share steps you followed to create the account?
