remove kiosk username from my computer

[Ann Strutt]

I gave my computer to my son and we changed the username to his. He created his own password. Everything was working great. We turned the computer on the next day and it did some updating and changed the username to Kiosk and cannot enter a password as nothing works?

Hit Crl-Alt-Del twice. That should bring you to a screen where you can type in a new username.

Sounds like someone was playing around with the user account, Kiosk is actually a special mode you can configure a system to, usually done for trade shows and demos so people can't mess with the computer too much. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/how-can-i-setup-a-computer-with-windows-7-to-be/89f3246f-baaf-45fc-b946-07450475a5b0

The limited use account is often named "Kiosk".
