Thank you for your bug report. It sounds a bit similar to bug #1971559 The reason it displayed the wizard to create a first user is because it didn't recognize your existing account.
Could you to do # /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon --debug and see what that does display about your account? also does /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$USER includes a SystemAccount=true key? ** Package changed: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) => accountsservice (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: accountsservice (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1972129 Title: user account show different users than "Users and Groups" Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: upgraded from 21.10 to 22.04. Upgrade seemed to require creating a new (admin) id, which I did. When I now login the new account name is displayed but I have to list other users to be able to login with my pre-upgrade account. Going to system settings -> User Accounts shows only the new account. Once logged in, invoking "Users & Groups" shows both new id and pre-upgrade user account.
