  1. Administrator password no longer being accepted after uninstalling windows updates


    After installing windows updates, noticed some undesirable behavior. Uninstalled these updates and behavior came back to normal. However upon restarting laptop, the Administrator password seems to have been changed.

    Windows 10 administrator password

    I have tried your suggestion a few times. Problem is when I get to the "Reset this PC" screen it asks me to choose an account to continue. The only account is Administrator - which requires a password. Again; my password, for whatever reason, is no longer
    accepted.

  3. Windows 10 Administrator Password is not accepted.

    Hello Danjohare,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

    • You mean to say, it will accept the password in second attempt during login?
    • Is it a Microsoft account or Local account?
    • What do you mean by this statement, "And of course to remove me as administrative account I need administrative rights"?
    • Is this issue started recently?
    • How many account do you have on your computer?
    Give us above details to assist you better in this regard.

    Windows 10 Administrator Password is not accepted.

    Windows 10 Administrator Password is not accepted. The first log in screen says the compoter is offline (which it is not), I have used on screen keyboard which did not help. It also does not accept my password anytime the computer needs administrator OK.
    And of course to remove me as administrative account I need administrative rights,.... Only with computers.
