  1. password for daughter's new account did not save.


    Failed to properly save password for daughters new account. Now I can't do a password reset, because there is no info to give in the password reset dialog to allow a reset. She has never signed into anything and has no account history.

    :)

    Cannot access my User Account on local machine but can access Admin account. Need help finding password but NOT reset it as it will delete saved data.

    Hi,



    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

    If you reset the local account password it will not delete the Saved data.

    I suggest you to back up the saved data and files from the admin account and try to reset the password and check if it helps.

    Follow the steps below to reset the password.


    • Press Windows + R.

    • Type netplwiz and press enter.

    • Select the user account.

    • Click on Reset Password.


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    How do I change my daughter's Microsoft account password?

    To change your Microsoft account password

    • Sign in to your Microsoft account,
      and then select Security & privacy.
    • Select Change password.
    • Enter your current password, then the new password you want, then enter the new password again.
    • Select Save.

    Help from Microsoft

    Hoping you can sign in her account there. Not your account but hers.

    1. Open Run Command (Windows button+R).

    2. In the dialog box type control system and hit enter.

    If you are using a Microsoft Account to log into your system and you are unable to change the password, then I would suggest that you sign in online and change your password. Follow the steps below to do so.

      Security & privacy.
