HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

 In the details pane, double-click the DontDisplayLockedUserId registry entry. In the Value data box, type 1, 2 , or 3 , as appropriate for your situation. Then, click OK.

Note The following values can be set:  1 = Show the locked user display name and the user ID 2 = Show the locked user display name only 3 = Do not display the locked user information</li></ul> </li> Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.</li></ol>
