Windows 10 Administrator Password is not accepted.

Hello Danjohare,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

• You mean to say, it will accept the password in second attempt during login?
• Is it a Microsoft account or Local account?
• What do you mean by this statement, "And of course to remove me as administrative account I need administrative rights"?
• Is this issue started recently?
• How many account do you have on your computer?

Give us above details to assist you better in this regard.
