Windows 10: Delinking Microsoft account from bulit in administrator account

Hi, I'm sorry I was using a Chinese version of windows 10 at work, so could not find much information about what I need.
My personal microsoft account somehow got linked to the windows 10 administrator account. If I create another administrator account and try to delete the original administrator account, it doesnt let me do it. I just want to delink my ms account from the computer.
Anyone has any clues?

:)

 

Delink Local Administrator Account from Microsoft Account in Windows 10

I have windows 10 installed and after the installation I was asked to put in my hotmail user ID and password and now the local administrator account in linked to the microsoft account. I wish to delink the two accounts and use a different password instead
of having to use my microsoft password. When I try to reset the local administrator password using the net user command I get a "The system is not authoritative for the specified account and therefore cannot
complete the operation" error. How do I delink the two accounts without having to reset windows. There seems to be no option to do so in the settings>>Accounts>>your account section.

Thanks

The first account created, by default, will be a member of the administrators group. Is that what is concerning you? What do you mean by linked to the Windows 10 Administrators account? The built in main system administrators account is hidden and disabled by default.

 

Hello lennyli, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

In addition, you can switch your Microsoft account on the PC to a local account to no longer have it linked to the account on the PC.
