  1. Account Problems . . .


    I was having some problems with my computer. So, I decided to re-install Windows 10. After it was done,
    it takes you thru, things like, welcome, etc. But, then it wanted to know my password, not sure why?
    Then, it said it would send me a reset link to my email, great? I use Yahoo mail. but it was not
    even installed yet. But, their was an answer. I had them send the link, to my wife. She got everything all
    set up for me.


    But, now everything I have to do, it wants a password, I have to use, my wife's. I'm like a stranger on
    my own computer. How can I change that, and use my own password, etc. I don't want to remove my wife's
    account,but I want to be the primary account. I hope you understand all this. If your able to help me?
    Please give the specific steps, to do it.

    Thanks for reading and I'll be watching . . . Jerry

    Remove account


    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del

  3. Try3 Win User
    Account problem

    Aslam,

    Yes, the procedure is complex but I split it into individual steps that, I believe, can be followed by anybody.

    Booting into Safe mode is explained in section 3. All steps are included. If there is a step you cannot do then please tell me the para number and which aspect of it is confusing you.

    Getting into the built-in Administrator account is explained in section 4. All steps are included. If there is a step you cannot do then please tell me the para number and which aspect of it is confusing you.

    Any local account and any MSAccount can be made a "Standard" account or an Admin account. You need to be logged in to an Admin account in order to raise a Standard account to Admin status.
    - Once you are logged in to one of the Admin accounts that I suggest that you create, you can go to Settings, Accounts, Family & other users so that you can select the account you want to raise then click on the Change account type button that appears.
    - Be wary of promoting then relying upon the current problem account because its user profile might be damaged. I cannot say that it is definitely damaged but only that something has gone wrong.

    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
