    Password change


    I restarted my laptop suddenly had to change my password. I'm the admin and i turned this off. now i cant have the same password because it doesnt meet the required length complexity ect.
    i have everything turned of in secpol.msc and it still wont let me change my password. the notification i get is the following
    resetting my password with command promt
    >Het wachtwoord voldoet niet aan de vereisten voor het wachtwoordbeleid. Controleer de minimale wachtwoordlengte, wachtwoordcomplexiteit en vereisten voor wachtwoordgeschiedenis.
    its in dutch but i have all the settings turned off in secpol.msc
    the weird thing is if i try to reset my password with ctrl alt delete i get the same msg but with domain on the end.
    but my laptop is not part of a domain
    how can i solve this ?

    :)

  2. Trouble Changing Wi-Fi Password


    I've been following the following steps to change my Wi-Fi password for some time:

    1. Launch Control Panel.
    2. Click "Network and Internet."
    3. Click "Network and Sharing Center."
    4. Click "Wi-Fi...."
    5. Click "Wireless Properties."
    6. Click the Security tab.
    7. Check "Show characters."
    8. Enter the password in "Network security key."
    Those steps have been working just fine, but today I discovered a new wrinkle. If I change the password inside the router first, "Wi-Fi..." doesn't appear in step 4. This isn't much of a problem at home, because I can just change the password in Control Panel before I change it inside the router, but it would be a problem at a public hotspot, or something of that nature. I also tested Brink's instructions in "How to Connect To a Wireless Network in Windows 10," but they don't work for me either. How can I fix this?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your response.

    Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

    1. Which version of Windows 10 is currently installed in your computer?

    2. Are you using a Microsoft Account to log into your computer?

    To open System Properties and check the version of Windows, follow the steps below:

    1. Open Run Command (Windows button+R).

    2. In the dialog box type control system and hit enter.

    If you are using a Microsoft Account to log into your system and you are unable to change the password, then I would suggest that you sign in online and change your password. Follow the steps below to do so.

    • 1. Click on the link below to open the Microsoft site, and then select
      Security & privacy.
    Create your Microsoft Account Today

    • Select Change password.

    • Enter your current password, then the new password you want, then enter the new password again.

    • Select Save.
    Hope this information helps.
