    How to change Windows 10 start-up/lock screen password, NOT account password.


    I have a laptop and desktop, both of which are associated by my Windows @live account. I want to change the password that I enter when first turning on the device or when awoken from sleep/lock-screen. The password for each device is different and I know its not the @live account password, but every step I try and take it won't let me change the start up password. Only my account password.


    I'm trying to lock my kids out of the computers and they have lost them but the know the password and I can't change it..


    Help!

    :)

    Changing lock screen password

    I was able to change password on windows 8 but now that I have windows 10, its diff way to change your lock screen password. Since I tried to change the lock screen password, it involves changing my Microsoft password, which I don't want that. Just want
    to know how to change your lock screen password without involving to change ur Microsoft account password.
