Hope this helped!

locate the logon screen picture and set it as default or choose another picture.

or you can download microsoft theme from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/themes and use any picture you like as your logon screen.

alternatively, you can open microsoft paint, then save a blank.jpg or blank.png and set either one as logon screen. (blank white space)

Hi Dimitriy Remerov,

Thanks for posting in Microsoft Community!

I understand that you want to revert back the account picture to the default picture. As you dont have any other picture to change, correct me if i am wrong.

I am sorry regarding this because there is no option in windows 8 to remove the account picture. However right click the account picture you dont want and then clean the history. I would suggest you to click another picture from your camera and set as account picture by choosing change account picture option.

If you have any other concerns related to Microsoft Windows 8, feel free to post.

I will be happy to help you.

Thanks!
