  1. how to fix a wrong password


    my sister got scammed the other day and she let someone on her pc online and they went all through her pc and then set a password they used 654321 and they allowed you to try to reset it but then it asked for a reset key/ thumbstick to reset that password. so i had to use my esd drive and just reset her hard drive. she did lose all her data and pictures, she did not have any backup so her loss. so is there a way to get around this? or is it what it is and your stuck if someone gets on your pc online and messes with it? or might you be able to make a master password and place that on a thumb stick for just such cases? and for safety she called the banks to get her passwords changed. she did not have any medical or retirement item on it. thanks

    :)

    Wrong Password


    The "Old Password" is the password to your local account. It is about to change your local account to a Microsoft Account. If you don't mind this, then enter your local account password. If you think this is overly intrusive of Microsoft, don't do it and let Cortana die.

    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.
