  • Click each S-1-5 folder, locate the ProfileImagePath entry in the details pane, and then double-click to make sure that this is the user account profile that has the error.

Option 1: If you have two folders starting with S-1-5 followed by some long numbers and one of them ended with .bak, you have to rename the .bak folder.

  • Reboot your PC with the password reset disk.

After you create the new user account, read this article to copy the files from the old account to the new one.

Method 3: Delete the Error SID and Create a New Profile

A manually deleted profile does not remove the SID from the user profile list in the registry. As the SID is still present, Windows will still try to load the profile by using the ProfileImagePath that points to a nonexistent path. Therefore, the profile cannot be loaded. So we can delete the error SID and create a new profile to fix this error.

  • Delete the profile by using the Computer Properties dialog box. Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties. Click Change settings.
  • In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab. Click Settings under the User Profiles area.
  • In the User Profiles dialog box, select the profile that you want to delete, click Delete, and then click OK.
  • Click Start, type 'regedit' in the Search box, and then press ENTER. (For Windows 7) From the Start screen, type 'regedit' in the Search box to locate Registry Editor. (For Window 8)
  • Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionProfileList

  • Right-click the SID that you want to remove, and then click Delete.
  • After deleting the error SID, log on to your computer and create a new profile.

So far, we have introduced the 3 methods about how to fix user profile service failed the logon error in Windows 8/7. For more Windows tips, click here.

If you want to change the name of your Windows 7 or Vista account, that is easy. However, even when you change the name, the folder name of your user profile remains the same. If you try to rename the folder it will severely mess up your account. Consequently most people have come to the conclusion that it is impossible to change the name of your Windows profile folder without breaking everything. In this How-To though, we’ll look at how to rename it and move it anywhere you want without messing up anything important.

Disclaimer: Before you get started with this, you should be aware that there are a few possible side effects of moving your profile.

  • Your Start Menu shortcuts might break, they will still appear to be on your Start Menu but they will be need to be re-created.
  • Personal preferences in some applications may be lost.
  • Some programs may think that you just installed them
  • You will need to re-index your computer for documents to show up in Start Menu search results

Those are about the only problems I’ve noticed so far, so without further ado, let’s get started.

Step 1

We’ll need to use the administrator account for this tutorial, so first we’ll need to enable it.

Open up cmd (Run as Administrator) and Type the following 2 commands into it:

For “yourpasswordhere” put whatever password you would like to assign to the administrator account, this can be nearly anything, just be sure to remember it.

Once you’ve done this you should now be able to log in to the Administrator account.

Step 2

Completely log off of your current account, and login to the Administrator account.

Step 3

Warning: This step can take a very long time depending upon how big your Windows User profile folder is, I don’t suggest starting this unless you don’t need to use the computer for anything except simple tasks for the next hour or two.

Now that we’re in the administrator account, open up the cmd again. This time we are going to copy the entire existing profile to a new location, it is necessary to use xcopy so that we can keep your programs functioning properly. For this use the following command, I’ll explain it more below:

The above command xcopy maintains file attributes and system settings when copied. It also will continue copying despite any errors being run. The folder location in red should be the folder that you want to move, and the location in blue should be the folder that you want to move it to. For example, my Windows system named my user profile “grooveDexter.GDEXMACHINE” instead of what I wanted, just “grooveDexter.” I used the following code to change it, just adapt yours to this screenshot:

Step 4

User

Now that everything is copied to the new location, we need to delete the old one. To do this type the following command into cmd:

The “del /s /q” command will delete all of the contents in the folder, and “rmdir” will delete the folder once it is empty. Note that rmdir won’t work unless the directory is completely empty.

Step 5

Now we need to create a symlink junction so that your installed applications will still work, to do this type in the following command:

Done!

Now your user profile should be moved to a new location, but maintain 99% of it’s functionality. You can log off the admin account and start using your other account pronto!
