Thanks guys. Just confirming that the instructions have worked and all of the account passwords are sorted out. Passwords have been stored securely so they won't be lost again!
One thing I noticed after creating the temp admin account is that you need to change it to a standard account afterwards otherwise it will be the primary admin account.
There must be some misunderstanding somewhere - there is no need to change anything afterwards & there is no such concept as a "primary" account.One thing I noticed after creating the temp admin account is that you need to change it to a standard account afterwards otherwise it will be the primary admin account.
Please explain what symptoms you are referring to so they can be explained.

OK. Understood.
The admin account it first shows is always the last one that was logged in to / the last one that was used to authorise something. So that incident was a one-off.
You could make the new admin account an admin again and just leave it unused to make sure it does not get in your way. It will still be there is you need it [if, just for example, your normal admin account suffers from user profile corruption]. I have an admin account just like that.
- Actually, I have two admin accounts like that but you might regard that as overkill.
- I use one for giving permission and for logging in to if I am chasing errors or …
- I keep the other one pristine. I have never even logged into it. I proved its password by using it to give access permission to something once. If I happened to suffer some catastrophe while using my normal admin account & somehow corrupted it then I would know there was another admin account ready to log into to sort the mess out.
