    Block Users from changing passwords etc


    We are setting up PC's for students

    We do not want them to be able to change anything in settings such as their passwords


    We are using Windows 10 Home version and we have an admin account


    Would this work better in the education version

    :)

    Changing User Accounts Password

    Hi Eddy,



    If you are an Admin user for your Windows 10 device, it’s still possible to change another user’s password. To perform the said task, follow these steps:



    • Simultaneously press Windows + R to open the Run dialog box.
    • Once accessed, type netplwiz and hit
      Enter.
    • Select the user and choose Reset password.
    • Change it to your preferred password.


    Once done, you may close the window and try to use the new password for the account.



    Don’t hesitate to give us updates on your query.
