Thank you for this answer. I am presently completely blocked: something
went wrong and the computer is blocked by a "defaultuser0"..... This
seems to be a clever invention from microsoft and it is absolutely
unclear how I can recover: I can't restore anything, the system falls
back to this "user" and there is no way to know what is the password
associated!

Sigh!

Moreover, I can't resize the partitions to install linux because the
ntfs partition is crypted (bitlocker).

I am stuck!
