Windows 10: Password Protect External HD from all admin also

I did the entire BitLocker and Encryption using a password last night, but this system is Admin sign in since I am "normally" the only one using it except my adult daughter on occasion. She uses the net and what is on the internal drives. I set my external for only business, but since I am admin there is no real password protection on this system. I have a ton of folders, and add new a lot. Is there any way to password protect that one drive from all users, even admin? I am highly aware of hackers as well, so this worries me a lot.


Fingers crossed...and thank you.

way?

 

Forgotten admin password.


Sorry but "Admin account" might be a description. Is your answer to 1 that you are signed in to the built-in account with the username Administrator or do you just mean that you are signed in to an account that has admin status [an account that you have made at some stage]?

The account to select in the list is the one that you want to reset the password to. If that is the one you are signed in to then you'll get that To change your password press Alt+Ctrl+Delete message instead [and the existing password is needed in order to do any change].

You need to be signed in to a different admin user account in order to reset the existing one's password. By the way, you will lose all your saved internet sign-in credentials by resetting it.
- You could create a new password-protected, admin-level local user account {steps given in a separate post below} then sign in to it so you could then use netplwiz to reset the original one.
