If you don't see the account you want, select Sign out and choose the account you want. If you’re sharing your Surface with someone else, you can switch to their account without signing out or closing apps. You can also lock your Surface by pressing the Windows logo key + L, or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del on your keyboard and selecting Lock or Sign out. Go to Start and select your account picture in the lower-left corner of the Start menu. Here’s how to sign out of or lock your Surface: Locking protects your account from use and lets someone else sign in with their account, without closing your open apps. If you're locked out of your Surface and need your BitLocker recovery key, see Where to look for your BitLocker recovery key.

If you can’t enter your password, see What to try if your Surface touchscreen doesn't work or Troubleshoot Surface Type Cover or Keyboard for help.
