  2. how to reset/recover my deceased sister's Password

    My sister is deceased, I need to sell her laptop, I was able to wipe it clean, and was abkle to access it right after that with her password, however when I wanted to upload Microsoft office it would not accept her password, so I either need tio reset/recover
    her password, but it would need to be done on my laptop. I need to know how to do that. Thanks

    Becoming the administrator on my own computer

    Hi Joan,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

    I suggest you to enable the built-in Administrator account by following the steps below:

    • Right click in the Start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type the below command:
    Net user administrator active:yes

    3. Restart the computer and login to the built-in Administrator account.

    4. Delete the account which is not required and make the required account as Administrator.

    5. Sign-out from the built-in administrator account and login to the other account which is made as the Administrator and check for status.

    After creating a new Administrator account, disable the built-in Administrator account by following the steps below:

    • Right click in the Start icon and select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type the below command:
    Net user administrator active:no

    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.
