    How to change forgotten password if netplwiz enables access

    Wish I had seen posts #2 and 3 before I did what NavyLCDR said to do. Anyway, I got it done. I wasn't sure whether I could use my hotmail address or if I had to create a new User and email. I used my original email and steps after that were not what Bing said would come up--no option to set a new password. On the sign in, only my email appeared and not my real name as it normally does on my other computers. I went into netplwiz and deleted my old name (had to check the box).

    In summary, my Microsoft email knew what my password was and with an email code to verify, I now have access to this computer if a password is ever required. (I had to remember to go back to netplwiz and uncheck the box!)

    No Option to Require Password in Netplwiz.exe

    Log in requires password

    Since a recent update the PC now requires a password to log in.

    I have tried Windows Key - netplwiz and unchecked "users must use password...."

    There are no other users shown in the listing.

    I use my Windows account as my log in which is also the administrator account.

    Also on restart the lock screen shows - pretty picture and no taskbar. I have to press spacebar to release that and then it shows my account and requires a password input.
