New computer requiring password?

Hi James,

I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

Once logged in, press Ctrl + Alt + Del and click "change a password".

- Leave the "current password" box empty.

- Enter the new/preferred password and save the changes.

If you are able to set the password, log in using that password and press Windows key + R.

- Type netplwiz and press enter.

- Check "users must enter a username and password to use this computer" and save the changes.

- Save the changes.

Let us know the result, we will be glad to help if you need further assistance.

 

Change administrator and log in of Windows 10 computer

I realise that similar questions have been asked before but I have been a little uncertain of following advice in other threads.

We have a single Windows10 computer that belongs to our not-for-profit organisation. It is used principally by the treasurer and contains some software that we use regularly but will be impossible to reinstall.

At present the sole log in to the computer is by way of the previous treasurer's Microsoft account using a pin.

He has since (understandably) changed his password but the pin log in still works.

It would be better if the log in was changed to the Microsoft account of the new treasurer (and the account of the old treasurer deleted).I therefore have three questions:

1. If we create a new Microsoft account (for the new treasurer) and create a new administrator user associated with that account, will that new user have access to all software and data presently on the computer?;
2. What steps do we take to create the new administration user (with a new Microsoft account)?; and
3. What steps do we take to remove the old administration user from the account without losing access to existing software or data?
   

I hope this is set out sufficiently clearly.

Paul

P.S. If necessary we do have access to the previous treasurer to utilise his (new) password at any point it may be required.
