Admin account renamed after 6.5.0 upgrade
Hi, The administrator account that I entered upon resetting my device a good while ago (named it "Chokehold") has since I updated to 6.5.0 from 6.2.4 been changed to simply "admin". My files ...
My understanding is that admin account is always there, and cannot be renamed.
However you also had a main user account - as did I.
Upgrading to 6.5.0 the main user account seems to have been removed - I have had to go back to admin.
Tried to re-create the user account and told I couldn't as it was the alias for ReadyCloud acocunt
Dang, didn't even try that.
But yeah I get the same error.
Error code 2013020845
Something similar, I had a readycloud account, because of the upgrade, I had to leave readycloud for a mynetgear account,
When I did this it created an admin user and a new user using my email address for the name.
My old user home folder is still there, but now I cant access it with my new user account. I have files in there, but I don't know how to access them or move them out.
