    After the latest update, Edge deleted all my saved profile options because I could no longer sign into the student account it had been using as I am no longer at university and the account doesn't exist anymore or is blocked. It had been associating all my saved history/favourites/passwords with that log in for some reason. I imagine this is not something I can recover?If this isn't something I can recover, I need to set up a new profile and start from scratch. I am trying to do this with my personal outlook account however I cannot do this without logging in with a PIN. I do not have a PIN an

    Edge refusing to delete passwords

    Hello all,

    I've started using a password manager and I am trying to tell Edge that I want all the stored passwords deleted - they are now handled by the password manager.

    I followed the last step of your tutorial here: How to Delete Saved Passwords for Sites in Microsoft Edge Chromium

    However, when I select Passwords (I have 700+) and I confirm, Edge takes me back to the previous screen but passwords are not being deleted. I can try as much as I want, passwords are always displayed - and suggested, despite the "offer to save password" is disabled.

    Any help please?

    Thanks!

    - - - Updated - - -

    quick update

    I did not realise that I can navigate to the "Passwords" screen and select them all. Then delete them all. So, problem solved.

    Still, the option to remove all the passwords in "clear browsing data" does not work Edge deleted all my passwords because it was on an old school account. I now can't connect... :)

    Thanks!

    Deleting User Accounts

    If you can access the admin account through safe mode then all you have to do to remove the other account passwords is go into User Accounts in the control panel and either delete the accounts or, I'm not sure, remove the account passwords.

    deleting administrator account w/o having password

    When it asks non-admin accounts for an admin password to authorise something, it routinely suggests the last admin account used. If you click on More choices, you will see a list of admin accounts and you can just select the one you now have access to. The next time the dialog appears it will suggest that as the admin account to use to give permission to proceed.

    Once you have done this and seen it all working, you can either delete her old account [after having checked her user folders to make sure there is nothing there you need] or, assuming it is a local account not an MSAccount, just reset her password then put on a new one** so that the account is available as a spare admin.

    ** Which you should write down.
