No issue in Event Viewer
In Settings>Accounts>Other Users
In Other Users> Add Account then its asking for a Microsoft account but I selected "Add a user without a Microsoft Account then it asked for a username and password, i also filled up the secret questions. Then I change it to an admin account. Once I used that username it says "The username and password is incorrect".
Another thing that I observe in the login window, usernames as email addresses are only listed while all the local users are not displaying.

Try create account without password and see if it works.
Try login with the account as standard user and see if it works and then promote it to administrator.

- grapolsFeb 07, 2022Copper ContributorI can't seem to create a user account without a password. I already disabled Hello, and checked Local Security Settings.
- Reza_AmeriFeb 07, 2022Silver ContributorHow are you creating a new account?
You may proceed with creating new account and when it ask to setup password leave it empty and press next. This way, account will setup without password.- grapolsFeb 08, 2022Copper ContributorIt seems that the system is not accepting any account without a password. I know what you mean that an account can be created without a password but in my case, it's not accepting it.
