Windows 10: I don't login a ms account and I forget my password

I don't have a DVD rom and I do not login my Microsoft account,how can I use my computer

:)

 

No login password craziness

Brink, that was the missing step. What threw me off was in netplwiz, where it asks about password for my MS account, the user name was not the same as my MS account name. Once I entered the password (twice) I can now login without entering a password. In fact the name that was listed was not the MS account name, but a folder name. The folder is the one that shows when you click on C:\Users.
Thanks for the help.

 

MS online account logins VERSUS W10 computer login passwords

I am configuring a new computer. I would like to use a shorter, 7 char computer login password, but it seems that MS in W10 requires the same password for the MS online accounts, like this community and other centralized capabilities, as the login password
for my computer. The MS online accounts must be at least 8 characters.

Why can't I establish a completely different password for my computer and the online accounts ?

Please let me know if there is a way around this apparent rule.

If it really is a rule that the computer password must match the MS online account passwords, then

I would suggest this is a counterproductive restriction in a world where password management is already burdensome.

 

Change Password to MS Account associated with my Login ID

Thank you for the response. However, it did not necessarily answer my question.

My PC is on a domain but I don't use my Microsoft Account to sign-in to it. The MS account is associated with my domain login. After digging around a little, I see that under Accounts there is a section listing other accounts, in which the MS account is
listed. There are two buttons next to it, Manage and Remove.

clicking the Manage it takes me to the online MS account where I can change the password using the method provided in the link you sent earlier. I founmd this after I changed the password online using the browser. I did not try to change the password using
the Accounts/Other Accounts in Windows10. Does this method sync the password automatically?

Thanks,

Dan
