Windows 10: How do I remove an administrater acount that I cannot access because I forgot the pin and...

The user name is an old email address that I no longer have and I cannot make changes to user accounts.

Administrater Password

No, neither recommendation helped. My problem is that my "Administrater Password" is not reconized. I can get into my "Microsoft Account" with my "Pin" or My "Password" and into my "Local" Account with my "Password." However, when I want to make any change
that requires an "Administrater Password" it will not accept what I think is my correct Administrater Password. Mybe I goofed during the Installation process of "Account" setups including Adminstrater Password setup. Again, I can do everything I need tyo
do, but I do need Administrative access. None of your recommended actions help to establish administrative access for me.

Quick Access bar

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Remove items from Quick access.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps.

• Right click on the file or folder.

To pin items to an item already on the quick access bar.

Follow the below steps.

I would suggest you to create folder in the desktop screen & place all the files or folder which need to pin to the quick access.

• Open the quick access.
• Select the Desktop option.
