    I can never see my passwords because I am stumped by the user name and password. Seems like...


    I use a picture to sign in to my computer. My passwords are saved with Chrome. To see the passwords, change them etc. Windows wants me to authenticate using a password. I just changed the password. This has been going on for years. Years. It works only by some other temporary mechanism futsing with google to get through or use a chromebook. So what is so special or convoluted that I can't have the means by which to set a password and make it work in windows?

  2. how to delete user password?

    Hi Susilo,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    To assist you better, I would like to know whether the accounts are local account or Microsoft account. Are you trying to remove the login password?

    If you are trying to remove the login password, I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    • Press windows key + R to open command prompt, and type "netplwiz"
    • Uncheck "user must enter user name and password to use this computer", then click "ok"
    • Enter your user name and password, then click "ok"
    • Restart your computer.
    I would like to inform you that it is recommended to activate the password for security reasons.

    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.

    Linksys password recovery

    Installed Linksys router a week ago and both user name and password are admin.
    Hope resetting works for you.

    Linksys password recovery

    I don't think it is. Default is usually;

    User Name: (Blank)
    Password: admin

    or

    User Name: admin
    Password: admin
