Windows 10: How do I access my password manager?

How do I access my password manager?

Managing password resets for local admin

Need more clarification on the matter, from what I'm seeing you're asking if you can somewhat automate managing passwords on hundreds of printers, scanners, mfp's. Without more details such as what brand(s) and model(s) you're using, confirming the capabilities of account management for those, we can speculate and make suggestions but they might not be as helpful as you'd like.

With some of those devices, finding out if they're tied to RADIUS or LDAP and if you're also taking advantage of security group assignments, that would be vastly more helpful. Then at that point if you're utilizing access privileges and restrictions based on security groups for devices to manage who even has authorized access. I would assume a company that size is likely running with all of those in-place, but you know what they say about ASSumptions. *Wink

Beyond that setting an extremely complex password for the default admin or disabling that account and creating a uniquely named account that only you and your security team know would be the way to go as well. Would still be a lot of manual work, and not sure what you can truly do to avoid that, so make the manual changes really count for something where you can. Security management in IT isn't easy, and access control is one of those things that takes a lot more involvement at various stages to do and execute correctly.

I'd say make the account name changes, make the password 64+ chars long, and perform annual or bi-annual changes as needed. Again, hopefully as-far-as user access-control, you're able to take advantage of a directory sync service and manage access from a print server with security groups.

 

Lost My Administrator Password

To which "this" are you referring?
- If you are following the tutorial Bree suggested in the very first reply to your question then what you need to do at each step is explained in detail. So which step are you at?
- If you are following a different procedure then state what it is and which step you are at. If, for example, you are trying to manually enable the Built-In Admin as suggested in post #11 then that account has no password.

Capability Access Manager

Hi Jelani Moonah，



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



Regarding the random behavior of the Capability Access Manager when recording audio, it's possible that there are underlying factors contributing to this inconsistency. Here are some potential reasons and suggestions to consider:

1. Resource Availability: The time taken for the Capability Access Manager to appear may be influenced by the availability of system resources. If your system is under heavy load, it could affect the time it takes for the manager to process and display the recorded audio.
   
   • Suggestion: Try monitoring your system's resource usage (CPU, memory, disk) during the audio recording process to see if there are any spikes or limitations that could be contributing to the delays.
     
2. Background Processes: Other background processes running on your computer could potentially impact the performance of the Capability Access Manager and its ability to handle and display the recorded audio in a timely manner.
   
   • Suggestion: Consider reviewing and minimizing other running applications and background processes while recording audio to see if it affects the appearance time of the Capability Access Manager.
     
3. Software or Driver Issues: It's possible that there may be software or driver-related issues affecting the Capability Access Manager's performance. Outdated or incompatible drivers, as well as software conflicts, could lead to unpredictable behavior.
   
   • Suggestion: Ensure that your audio drivers are up to date and compatible with your operating system. You may also want to consider reinstalling or updating the audio recording software you are using to see if it improves the consistency of the Capability Access Manager's appearance.
     
4. System Configuration: Certain system configurations or settings, such as power management settings, might impact the performance of audio recording and the appearance of the Capability Access Manager.
   
   • Suggestion: Check your power management settings and ensure that they are optimized for performance rather than power saving. You can also review other system settings related to audio recording to ensure they are properly configured.
     

Thank you for your patience and understanding, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave us a message.
