I dont see 'more security' in any of the menuing https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...a-a6f2979a7944 How to create a new app password To create a new app password for an app or device, take the following steps. You can repeat these steps to create an app password for as many apps or devices as you need.

1. Go to the Security basics page and sign in to your Microsoft account.
2. Select More security options.
3. Under App passwords, select Create a new app password. A new app password is generated and appears on your screen.
4. Enter this app password where you would enter your normal Microsoft account password in the application.

Note: Once you have created and entered an app password for a given app or device, you usually won't need to do it again.

Administrator forgot password and/or is not working anymore, cannot login

Hi Paul,

We apologize for not being able to address your concern in a timely manner.



I suggest you to boot through Windows 10 recovery media, then open Command Prompt from Windows Recovery Environment and enable Built in Administrator.

Follow the below steps to enable Built in Administrator:

• Open Command Prompt from Windows Recovery Environment.
• Copy and paste the below command and press Enter.

net user administrator /active:yes

3. Close the Command Prompt and try to login though Built in Administrator.

4. Change the earlier password or you can create new user account.

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.



Thank you.

 

I've made a administrator password but i dont rememer it and when i install programs, i need my administrator password and i dont know it.

This is pretty much like having a safe and forgetting the code to open it. You would need a locksmith. The simplest solution goes like this:

1. Take the machine to your friendly PC dealer and ask him to reset the password. If he is competent then he can do it in less than 10 minutes. There are other solutions but they are quite complex.
2. Create, test and document a spare local admin account, same as you have a spare house key. Using a single admin account is high-risk stuff, as you just found out!
