    Resetting Windows password


    I am helping my SO with his PC. I have reset his Microsoft password, but then another password for Windows was required. He doesn't remember it and there was no "Rest Password" link. How do I go about resetting it?

    I am a MAC user, so not too PC literate.

    Thank you for any help.

      • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
      • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. ...
      • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
