    Regd: Admin microsoft account reset on Windows 10


    Hi,


    I got a lenova with windows 10 in it.

    The user did the below thing and got her Admin account assigned to someone else microsoft account.

    Im using representational acct name for privacy purpose.

    1. She got a new laptop and decided to create another acct as admin and convert current login to normal user

    2. She logged in to her account user1which is a admin login create a new account *** Email address is removed for privacy ***.

    3. Only problem is *** Email address is removed for privacy *** is not her account, she didn't knew the name she gave was a online account.

    4. User creation page didn't ask for a password at the time of creation.

    5. She converted the *** Email address is removed for privacy *** as administrator and Windows didnt ask to login even then.

    6. She converted her current administrator acct as normal user. No questions asked again by Windows.

    7. She logged out and tried to login in to admin acct and at this stage Windows asked her to key in password for *** Email address is removed for privacy *** account which she doesn't know as it is not her account.


    She can use the windows as normal user and browse download etc. But unable to install any new software or upgrade her windows.


    What are the options available.


    Thanks in advance for your help

    :)

  3. Locked Out of Admin Account

    Hello Linda,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    1. Are you using a Microsoft account or a local account?
    2. Which version of Windows 10 you are using currently?
    3. Is the other user account an admin account?


    I suggest you to try using the on screen keyboard at the login page and check if you are able to login to the PC.



    1. At the login screen click on the
      ease of access icon at the bottom right hand corner.
    2. Click on the on screen keyboard to open it.
    3. Type the password and try to login.

    If you are using a Microsoft account, I suggest you to refer the article on

    how to reset your Microsoft account password
    .



    However, if you are using a local account, then I suggest you to refer the article on

    reset your Windows 10 local account password
    .



    Note: While performing these steps, there might be a risk of data loss. You may take a backup of the data before performing the steps.



    Hope it helps.

    Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.

    Regd: Admin microsoft account reset on Windows 10

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
