Windows 10: Obsolete email preventing me from using any admin tools

I have an issue that I have not found asked on the forum.


I'm trying to use my computer for the first time in a while. The account is connected to an email that is now obsolete. When I attempt to use any Admin tools I'm getting the User Account Control dialog but because the account is connected to a yahoo email address which was closed during the big Yahoo attack a while back the password I'm using doesn't work.


I cannot create a new user admin account to change the password on the other accounts on this PC (as I've read in many other forum chats related to user account password issues) to change the email obsolete email to another email.


There's nothing on the dialog to use an alternative method to get past this issue. Apparently it's a certificate issue but because of the obsolete email issue I'm stuck.


Any help is greatly appreciated.


Also, is it possible to forward any responses to my new email address: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***...thanks!!!

How to delete an obsolete or incorrect email address in Windows 10 Mail

Hi Nyima Yonten , I do
Agree with CindyBaudhu - (Issue not resolved).
The obsolete contact do not appear in People app but lists in TO List as we type the name, for both obsolete and new entry. Unless one is careful not to choose the right email id, obsolete email id gets selected. for instance, shruthi.r(now obsolete) gets
listed along with r.shruthi(renamed by company from shruthi.r), as the old email id already looked saved in outlook database somewhere(?) on the local hard drive(?). This obsolete older entry popping up in the TO Line writing new emails needs deletion. Is
there a way I could do this ?

 

admin password?

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.
