    I have two computers, both joined to the same domain. I also have two domain user accounts, one with basic levels of access and the other with elevated levels of access; the latter is used primarily for mapping network drives or logging in to servers, and will typically never be used to log in to an ordinary computer.We have a policy in our organization which requires mandatory password changes for domain accounts every so often. As part of integration with a third-party single-sign-on system, password changes must follow certain procedures in order to work correctly. For most accounts, this i

  2. Ctrl-Alt-Del Change password missing in Windows 10

  3. 1.2
    1.2 Win User
    "Other User" warning at logon overriding Ctrl+Alt+Del logon method (SOLVED)

    UPDATE: Solved!

    Only 1 account present on this computer, mine (Local/Administrator). No guest, secondary or MS accounts.

    When I turn the computer on I'm presented with a screen listing "Other User" and a description saying I need to provide an username/password), plus an "OK" button.

    Press "OK" and now I'm at the logon screen, there's a generic avatar with the title "Other User" and the username and password fields. The password field is selected by default. If you started by typing your username, it's time to delete it all and
    Shift+Tab to change fields.

    Type your credentials and it goes normally from there.

    I upgraded from 8.1 Pro earlier this month, its behavior was:

    - Turn on computer

    - Greeted by the Welcome screen/Lock screen

    - Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to trigger the logon username/password fields (username field selected by default)

    - Type credentials

    Now in Windows 10, I don't even see my lock screen requiring Ctrl+Alt+Del (even though it's set as required on netplwiz), it's always this "Other User" thing.

    Any way to make it like 8.1?

    UPDATE: Solved! It seems that having these:

    - Only 1 active account

    - No hidden accounts enabled (e.g. Guest and the Administrator account disabled through secpol.msc)

    - Username/Password required for logon + CAD method for logon

    Will result in that behavior, just now I re-enabled the Administrator account and the Lock Screen/Welcome Screen now appears at startup prompting for the Ctrl+Alt+Del combo.

    Hit it and the next screen will have the default avatar with "Other User" written under it plus the username/password fields (username selected by default!).

    I would rather have just the avatar present or the username/pass fields, none of this "other user" nonsense, but this is good enough.

    Ctrl Alt Del, Vista

    The whole Ctrl+Shift+Esc should be used to get that crazy screen with those options and Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring up TM.
