Windows 10: Changed Microsoft Account Password Does not Change PC Login Password

I have three Win 10 PC's (desktop, laptop, Surface) that all have the admin login account set up through a common Microsoft Hotmail account. I changed to a new password on my Hotmail account, but the old Hotmail password is still used for logins to my three PC's. How do I change the PC passwords?

I tried doing it through Settings/Accounts/Manage My Microsoft Account/ on my desktop but that forced me to change my Hotmail password again. Now my desktop and Hotmail password are synced, but the laptop and Surface still use the old Hotmail password.

Want to change the password for my PC login account.

Original Title: Password

The password to login to my PC is not the same as the one to my Microsoft account. I want to make my PC login the same but when I go to change the password it takes me to change the PW to my Microsoft account. How do I just change the password to login to
my PC?

 

windows local login does not change

I've updated by windows password multiple times however my local windows 10 login (using my microsoft account) password does not change. When I try to use the local account password to login to my microsoft account online it does not work.

How can I change it so that my windows local login is the same as my microsoft account?

 

Hello warc1, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

If the laptop and Surface have an internet connection, then the new password should eventually sync to them as well.

 

Yes, it was just a matter of time. All three PC's had persistent net connections yet it seemed to take about an hour before they synced.

Thanks for your input.
