Cannot access my User Account on local machine but can access Admin account. Need help finding password but NOT reset it as it will delete saved data.

Hi,



I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

If you reset the local account password it will not delete the Saved data.

I suggest you to back up the saved data and files from the admin account and try to reset the password and check if it helps.

Follow the steps below to reset the password.

• 
  Press Windows + R.
  
• 
  Type netplwiz and press enter.
  
• 
  Select the user account.
  
• 
  Click on Reset Password.
  

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

 

Excel Workbook Not Saving with Password

Hi 54646415,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you're having trouble saving an Excel workbook with a password in Microsoft 365. Just a heads up that in regards to this kind of issue, our option is limited and we can only perform basic troubleshooting steps. Please allow me to ask some questions to better understand your concern.

• May I know what version and edition of Office installed in your computer? Is it for Business or for Consumer?
  
  • You can open any Office apps
    
  • Go to File > Accounts - on the right side you can see Product Information
    
• Is this happening to all of your Excel Document?
  

One possible reason for this issue could be that the file is being opened in read-only mode by another user, which is preventing you from saving the file with a password. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

• Try saving the file to a different location, such as your desktop, and see if you are able to save it with a password there. If you are able to save it with a password in a different location, the issue may be related to the server or network.
  
• If the issue persists, you may want to try repairing or reinstalling Microsoft 365. To do this,
  
  • Open the Start menu and click on Settings.
    
  • Click on Apps.
    
  • Scroll down and find Microsoft Office in the list of installed apps.
    
  • Click on Microsoft Office and select Modify.
    
  • Select Quick Repair and click on Repair.
    

• Ask all other users to close the Excel file and ensure that no one else is accessing the file.
  
• Open the Excel file and enter the password to unlock the file.
  
• Click on the "File" tab and select "Save As."
  
• In the "Save As" dialog box, select the location where you want to save the file and enter a new file name.
  
• Click on the "Tools" dropdown menu and select "General Options."
  
• In the "General Options" dialog box, enter a password in the "Password to modify" field.
  
• Click "OK" to save the changes and close the dialog box.
  
• Click "Save" to save the file with the password.
  

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards,

John Lloyd
