    How do I require a password to access Administrator Account?


    If my computer starts up with the Administrator account, it requires no password or other security. I have created a personal account that requires a pin. I am not comfortable allowing the admin account to start up with no security.

    Administrator Password not Working-all fixes required administrator password :-(

    HELP! The password for my administrator account is no longer working- or I've forgotten it. I do not have a password reset disk. After days of trying my "normal" passwords and variations, I'm ready to give up and just re-install Windows
    10. BUT WAIT: I can't, because to create the media creation disk from the Microsoft website (long ago trashed the one I used the first time) I have to have the Administrator password to run the download. After selecting
    the command prompt option, I was shown a list of available accounts (me Administrator) and asked to login. Since I apparently don't remember the password, I cannot get past that screen. In answer to your question, my admin account is Not a
    Microsoft account.

    I still have the local account, it Is a Microsoft account and is working fine. But that doesn't seem to offer any paths to fix this.

    There is an active Administrator account on my computer (labeled me administrator) but again, the password I believe to be correct does not work.

    I have posted this previously but the suggestion I received (basically, use shift reset to get to a command prompt and then….. the rest doesn’t matter because I can’t get to
    the command prompt without being asked for an administrator password.
    I replied to the suggested fix, but after 24 hours or hearing nothing, my stress level is getting even more elevation.

    In summary- I can’t access the administrator account- and all proposed fixes (to this point) require access to the administrator account.
    See my dilemma????

    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.
