Sometimes windows might not read your profile correctly and as a result brings an "failed login" , before undergoing this process, make sure you enter the correct log-in password.

  • In Registry Editor, locate and click registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/ProfileList
  • In the navigation pane, locate folder that begins with S-1-5 (SID - key) followed by long number (they are sometimes two different SID key with long numbers)
  • Click each SID key and locate ProfileImagePath and double click to make sure its the correct user account you are trying to fixed.
  • Rename the SID key with  long numbers, that didnt have an extension (S-1-5-21-*********-*******-******-1000) to S-1-5-21-*********-*******-******-1000.bak
  • Rename the SID key with long numbers that has an extension (S-1-5-21-*********-*******-******-1000.bak) to S-1-5-21-*********-*******-******-1000
