Windows 10: How do I change local password in windows 11 pro?

Whenever I try to remotely connect to my pc or when I want to access a shared drive from other windows device I get asked for the credentials which I set up when I installed windows, I have since successfully changed my account password for any microsoft cloud services but the windows credentials still require the old password.I tried to change multiple times but whatever I do the local password remains the same.How do I update the local password?
