Start "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" and when it loads, type net user administrator /active:yes and press enter. Then type the password you want to set for the local admin and press enter. From there, restart the computer with shutdown...
I would first look for C:\Users\ and check your user folder as well as the others and look through extensively for the data. If it is not present, try data recovery software and see if it can find the missing user data.
 


Yeah I've Tried the basics, and I discovered one more problem, (i updated the thread)
it seems like, I am using a temporary user, and whenever i sign out it will delete that user and create again upon login
 
Try using Safe Mode to enable the local Admin account and create a new user from there. If the new account works properly, you should be able to find a way to recover some of the lost data. If the issue persists under the new account, you may need to use the local Admin to edit registry keys and correct the issue.
 


I would gladly try that, can you provide me an instruction for the registry method. that I do not know very well.
UPDATE: even in safe mode i cant create a new user

 


Start "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" and when it loads, type net user administrator /active:yes and press enter. Then type the password you want to set for the local admin and press enter. From there, restart the computer with shutdown -r and let it boot normally. Log in to the local admin account with the password you created before and run regedit. Once in the registry editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and click one with an annoyingly long number on the end that has .bak at the end. Look at ProfileImagePath and make sure it is YOUR user. If it is, click on it and copy the text under Value Data:. Next, find the identical number on the left side that has NO .bak but is otherwise the same number. Click it and check ProfileImagePath. If it leads to C:\Users\Temp, delete the entire profile from the left column. Then rename the one with .bak and remove the .bak extension, leaving EVERYTHING ELSE the same. Check the ProfileImagePath to ensure it is your user. If not, paste the line you copied earlier back into it. Now, you should be able to restart and login as normal. Just make sure to be careful in the registry editor and not to delete the local admin, this can ruin any chances of recovery. If this works or does not work or something goes wrong, please leave a reply.
