Hello
Can you hold down Windows+R keys, type in netplwiz and press enter. Can you see this account listed?
If so, is it listed as a username, or an actual email format?
What type of account are you using currently to sign into this computer? Is it a personal Microsoft account, a work/school account, or a local user?
