    Cant change password because of an old school account


    I've got an issue with changing my windows hello pin password. It says my school account organization wont let me change it, though on the top left, it shows i logged in with my personal account.I did have a school account, which I've disconnected through the Microsoft website because I've finished school and it's no longer valid. Somehow I think it's related and still wanting me to login into the school account.

    :)

    Local Account password changed to Online Account Password

    Hi,

    I suggest you to follow the steps on how to switch from Microsoft account to Local account:

    • Click on search in taskbar and type account.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Local account instead.
    • Enter your Microsoft account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
    • Enter User name credentials for your the Local account and click OK.
    • Now, login to Local account.
    Hope it helps.

    Lost password on an Old Account, any way to merge accounts?

    1) I hope I haven't broken the rules
    2) I created a new account because I couldn't remember the password to the old one
    3) Not sure. I like the 2005 reg date in a vanity sense and I was doing some lookup stuff with that account to trouble shoot my friend's pc (friend bought my old opteron / 7800GT rig) back in 2009.

    Okay its probably hopeless then. *Frown Cant change password because of an old school account :(.
