My windows 10 user has duplicated and I can't delete the new one. + Password problems

Xblease · May 17, 2020

As the title says last week my windows account somehow got duplicated on my PC. I tried doing the netplwiz but it only shows one account. On top of that I used to always login without any password and now windows forces me to log in with a password and create a pin everytime, which is unskippable. I tried pretty much everything and I can't fix both of those issues. I would like to only have one user and boot up my windows without having to use my password (which I never set up). Thanks for you help
