    I am trying to remove the microsoft account of my mother from the local admin account for my computer cause when I keep changing the picture, it changes her outlook picture. I tried a thread called Sign into this computer using your Microsoft account Maker JohnnyShockz person who replied Andre for directly. I ran the troubleshooter and had the same thing as him, Andre replies to go to his account and sign in with local account instead, I put the password of the account of my mother then it asks me for my password one more time, I put the password of the microsoft account of my mom and it says wrong password. What do I do?

  2. Switch Back to Existing Local Account from Microsoft Account

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your response in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

    I suggest that you follow the steps below and check if you can log into your computer using the Local Account.

      • On the Search Bar type “User Account”.
      • On the right menu pane locate and click “Make changes to my account in this PC”.
      • Then locate and click on “Sign in With a Local Account instead”.
      • And follow on screen instructions.
    Hope this information is helpful.

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown I am trying to change the microsoft account of my account for my computer local... :(
