  3. administrator password

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums. In this case I suggest you to try converting your account into administrator. Follow the steps below,

    1. Search for Run on
      Windows search bar.
    2. Type netplwiz in the run window and click on OK.
    3. It would prompt you for password of admin account, put in the password.

      If you have not set any password, just click on OK.
    4. Double click on the user account you want to change and go to
      Group Membership.
    5. Now select Administrator and click on
      Apply and OK.

  4. How can i change the administrator password if i don't know it.

    Family Safety Password Change

    Hi,

    First, you need to make sure you are logged into the computer as the Administrator. If you setup your children's account as an Administrator, you should be able to change their passwords. Then follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Control Panel.
    • Click on Family Safety and select the child account.
    • On the left navigation pane, select
      Change Password
      .
    • Follow the prompted instructions and check if the password is changed.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Apparently I don't know my passwords, how can I circle this?: I was on a BSOD loop for hours until the PC could at last move past it and somehow update. Then it came to check into it, says PIN isn't working anymore for some reason. I then try logging in with the same password I had for years and says it's wrong. I reset it on my phone...
