We've been using our PC for ages with only one user account, but in an effort to sort out the parental controls at last we created another account, made it the administrative account and turned the old one into a standard account for the kids to use. In
the process we changed the account names and none of them now have my name. Then we downloaded Family Safety, but this insists on calling all the accounts by my name which makes things very confusing! Is there a way of teaching it the new names?

the process we changed the account names and none of them now have my name. So in the Control Panel/User Accounts and Family Safety/Parental Controls window the accounts have the correct names. Then we downloaded Family Safety, but this insists on calling

I am getting the following error setting up a couple accounts:
"That account name is not allowed for use with this service"
The account names are
money
microsoft
Anyone know how to set these up?

I opened an account briefly last year to communicate with my lawyer. I decided today to go into it and make certain everything is deleted. I've forgotten the password so asked that a reset link be sent to the secondary account assigned to this account.
When I looked closely I realized that what little I could see of the secondary account (most of the name is not visible of course) didn't look at all familiar to me and I don't even remember the full name of it. But clearly I set it up because there it is,
and now I can't access it either. I can live without both of these accounts, but since it's been a year I wonder if account names expire. Specifically, might someone else have been able to select and use the name I had on the secondary account, and therefore
received my reset link for the lawyer account?
