  1. 2022 PC running Windows 8 with Microsoft Account


    I have come back into possession of an old Windows 8 PC. The admin account is my Microsoft account but the current password doesn't work. Is there any way to get this PC to use the current Microsoft account password? I don't know the password that I used on this PC before I lost it. The login tells me I can reset the password at : account.live.com/password/reset. But I don't need to reset the password, I can login to my Microsoft account online and on other devices. It is the PC that isn't using the current password. It is connected to the network. Will this just no longer work because there i

    2022 PC running Windows 8 with Microsoft Account

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown 2022 PC running Windows 8 with Microsoft Account :(
