    Is credentials manager asking for a Windows password or Microsoft account password?


    I never sign in to windows and have never, as far as I know, had to give a windows password.I am trying to see my passwords in credentials manager but it asks for my credentials. I have tried my laptop serial?registration? number, my Microsoft password and my email address. I have also tried 'Administrator'. and my account name as written on my laptop. None work.I cannot even find where to reset my windows password.

    :)
