  1. Created user with same password as administrator acct and now can’t


    Created user with same password as administrator acct and now cant Log into Administrator Acct. Help!

    I know it sounds weird but I did it. Was just trying to feed it something till I had a one I wanted it to be, I had no idea it would cancel my administrator account password. What happened here? Did it default the Administrator password to something else? The second account is not administrator level, just user. Im on a windows 7 pro box.

    Thanks for any help!!

    :)

  2. 2 computers same acct...please help

    Hi, I have 2 computers in my home. Both computers have the the user name and password when logging in. Also when I go to my Microsoft acct. both are listed under devices. I would like to have it so both devices have there own log in. If I delete the other computer listed in my acct. would this solve the problem? Also, would I be able to log into the other computer since it was deleted and how would I then create a new username and password? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!!

  3. User Account; Tried to Switch from Microsoft Acct to Local Acct.....

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



    If you like to login directly to Desktop without using a password, either you may
    create a local account
    without password or I would suggest you to follow these steps:

    • Press Windows key + R on the keyboard.
    • Type “netplwiz” without quotes and press Enter.
    • Under Users tab, if you have already unchecked the option “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” then check it again.
    • Now select the User name under Users for this computer
      (make sure you are selecting the correct user account).
    • Now uncheck the option “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” and click on
      Apply.
    • You will get a prompt to enter the password for the User name.
    • Type the password, confirm it and click on
      OK
      .
    • Click on OK again.
    • Now restart the computer and check if the issue persists.


    Note: Please be aware that this option will enable automatic login. So, please use this option only on your personal computer which is not accessed by others.



    As per your questions later if I decide to powering Desktop signing into my Microsoft acct?

    You can follow the same step and check the option which says Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer
    and you can make your local account to Microsoft account.

    Using a local acct, will Cortana still allow me to speak to her and get verbal and search answers?

    Cortana will not work in locale account only the normal search or web search will work with locale account.

    Hope this information helps and let us know the status of the issue we will be glad to help you further.

    Non Admin acct questions

    I think you may just be looking in the wrong place. When you sign out the sign in screen and password box will be for the account that has just signed out. It's the same for a restart, the sign in screen will be for the last user that had signed in.

    Sign out, then look for a list of names in the lower left corner of the sign in screen. All available accounts should be listed there, click on the one you want to change the sign in screen to be for that user. See the screenshot at step 2 in this tutorial.

    Sign in to Windows 10

    Correct, the user folder is not created until the first sign in.
