    How can I change the Microsoft administrator to a new one without the password?


    Not sure how, but my previous work email got setup as the administrator for Microsoft account so I cannot add or change to a local one. I'm going to Setting>Accounts>Family>Add Someone until it wants a password that I don't have and can't retrieve. I have the password for the overall administrator since it's a personal computer but upon start-up, it wants the pin to login into the Microsoft account that I'm not the administrator of. I have everything backed up on an external drive if I need to completely re-format the computer.

    :)
