  1. How to unlock the only account on a new pc


    Hello, I have an issue I'm not sure what to do about. I was given a new pc by someone who didn't need it anymore. They had the pc reset to Windows 11 with an admin profile called GamerProfile. Well, I plug the pc in and turn it on, it went right into the account with no login. I proceed to try to link my Microsoft Live account to the new profile but keep getting stopped at Enter the Windows password screen. I thought it needed my Live account password and keep entering it till it said something went wrong. I restarted the pc and now I get a login screen saying the GamerProfile account as been

  2. How to disable bitlocker auto unlock when my windows account password was changed?

    How to prevent auto unlocking drives from my laptop when my windows password changed? Hack or change my account password to much more easy than decrypt disk, but why windows doesn't provide such functionality from the box? I looking for any scripts to auto unlock from powershell also.

    I'm not going to "just disable unblock". It's very useful thing. I have too many things which starts from encrypted volume. I want to prevent access to my volume only just getting my account. If my system administrator account could be hacked, all sensitive data would be lost.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Login into your account
    2. Set up bitlocker, auto-unlock
    3. Restart PC and login into account
    4. Drive unlocked
    5. Logout from account (I switched off whole PC)
    6. Ask sysadmin to change your password to new one
    7. Login into your account with new password

    Expected result: bitlocker drive locked

    Actual result: drive unlocked
