Windows 10: How do I Remove a Local Copy of Windows 11 Professional Logon?

I have two Windows 11 Professional logons. Passwords are required for both. However the password only works for the one I want. As the other was a local copy, when I couldn't get onto the internet. I want to delete the local logon, but I can't find where it is. It's not in User Accounts. Is there something that I should find in start up manager or elsewhere that I should look for and delete? I don't want to play with the registry/command prompt, if possible. Thanks Guys.

unable to remove windows logon password


unable to remove windows logon password

went to control panel user accounts and there is no longer a ' remove password ' option as with windows 7

i changed the settings to ' not require a password on logon' but made no difference at all

it now boots saying password wrong, until I enter a password then all ok...

MS suggest adding a new account and logging in with that without a password then deleting the old one.....

does not not work as the add account is greyed out.

cant see why this is so difficult..

as as a side issue since trying to remove the windows logon password I am now presented on boot up with an OS choice wi cows 10 or 7.... I am certain this wasn't there before..

any my help would be appreciated
thanks
