    Remove PIN/Password Lock Screen by turning the account Local


    I have an older PC which, all of a sudden, refused to take the password for the lock screen. I had been using this password for years and it simply refused to work. I contacted the manufacturer who, for a $99 fee, would do 'advanced' tech support it was way out of warranty so this was OK and erase everything on my PC. This is what it takes to erase the lock screen password. This is insane. This PC has GBs of info and, even though it is backed up to the cloud, it would still lose installed apps so many are going to greedy subscriptions so purchased apps are gold but that is another horror st
