I have my Microsoft account signed into and linked to the local user, and am the administrator of both my Microsoft account and local user account. I am unable to log into a second PC, sharing the same Microsoft account, because of not being able to reset its local password, with the USB password reset tool.If anyone has any advice on how I can
