Hi Kevin,
This is most likely a security setting left behind by a user account that was deleted. This is why Windows is unable to retrieve the account info and shows "Account Unknown" instead.
Referring to your screenshot, you can safely delete the reference by selecting the Account Unknown listing under Security, clicking the Edit button, selecting the "Account Unknown" entry again and hitting the Remove button. Click OK and you're done.
For a more permanent fix, right click on My Computer, click Manage, expand "Local Users & Groups" and then click on Groups.
On the right pane you see, go into Administrators or Users. You will see the Security Identifier (SID) from the Account Unknown entry. Just select and remove the account. And you should be all set.
Let me know if this works for you.
Good luck,
James

00Hi Kevin,
Go to the Start Search box, type in Regedit.
Scroll to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
If you click on the SID (Security Identifier) in the left pane, on the right pane, go to Profile Image Path and it will show you the name of the user.
Example: ProfileImagePath - C:\Users\Administrator.
If you can match the SID, then you can delete that user.
Don't delete if you are not confident of deleting the correct user account.
Be sure to make a backup of your registry or a system restore point before making any changes in the registry.
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
