Windows 10: Computer login password changed with no permission

Why I have to sign into my computer with windows/Microsoft password. I used to sign into all my electronics with their unique password and starting last week I am required to use Microsoft password at least on this computer. I do not remember that I was notified or consulted about this change and the reasons for it. I do not wish to be traced, followed or listed by nobody

:)

 

Password issue

After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???

How to change the login password for the account?

Hi Gregor,

To assist you better, I would like to know whether you are logging into the computer with Microsoft account.

If you are using the Microsoft account to log in, I would like to inform you that it is not possible to sign into Windows without the password.

If you would like to change the password for the Microsoft Account, I suggest you to refer to the link provided below and check if that helps.

If you would like to change the password for the local account, please follow the below steps:

• 
  Press "Windows" and now the Start Menu will appear, click on your account on the top, and then select
  "Change account settings".
  
• 
  You may also select
  "Settings" on the Start Menu, click "Accounts" to open the Accounts settings.
  
• 
  Choose "Sign-in options" on the left panel, and then click on
  "Change" button below Password on the right panel.
  
• 
  Now Enter your current password and click on
  "Next" to continue.
  
• 
  Enter and reenter your new password, and enter the password hint, and then click on
  "Next" to modify your user local account password.
  

However, you may create a local account/user account and use that account to sign in, so that it will not ask you for the password when signing in.

Once you have created a local account, Please follow the below steps, if you would like sign in to a user account without password.

• Press Windows +
  R.

• Uncheck this box “Users must enter a username and password to use this computer” and press apply.
