  2. Changing a user's password on my Windows-10 laptop

    My daughter has her own computer now and I would like to change her password on my laptop, but I don't want to delete her account/data on my laptop. I restrict the times she can user her own computer (so she doesn't use it all night), but don't want to
    restrict my laptop. Apparently her password on my laptop is not a "local" password, but is her microsoft account password. I don't want to change that password which might affect her computer or other devices. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
