  1. User login screwed up - wrong email address


    Hi.I'm going round in circles, hopefully someone can help.My daughter logged onto her grandmother's Win10 laptop via grandmother's user ID. She opened PowerPoint, but signed in using her own outlook address. Now, grandmother's user ID displays my daughter's email address and has pulled across all our Microsoft family settings. The most problematic is locked apps - grandmother cannot open Chrome and gets a message saying she needs to ask a parent for permission!I've tried removing users to no avail. This is a real mess; can anyone help?

    :)

  2. old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    User login screwed up - wrong email address

    Cannot login Win10 with wrong e-mail address

    Hi community members,

    I would appreciate very much if you help me to solve problem.

    • While was setting up Windows 8, set wrong e-mail address. For example, *** Email address is removed for privacy *** instead of *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
    • Some period of time later, my OS updated to Win10 (this is what i have now). The wrong e-mail still remained.
    • Recently I decided to fix e-mail address, but decided to use some other. And via user account changed to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, which was also wrong. It should be for example xyz5@gmail.com.

    Now here come my problems:

    - Once my screen got locked, i could not open Win10 anymore

    - Restart PC, again failed to login

    - Switched off WLAN that I use last cached / local password, bug again cannot.

    Since i do not have access to typed *** Email address is removed for privacy *** e-mail, it is also clear that I did not verify change of e-mail address on my PC.

    I do remember my password.

    I do can login to my MS Account via web (with correct address *** Email address is removed for privacy *** e-mail).

    But now I neither can open my PC, nor change e-mail address

    I tried to reset password via web. But since *** Email address is removed for privacy *** is not my account, it is also clear that it does not work (fair enough).

    It is very confusing that local password does not work and that protection against typing / using wrong e-mail address is so weak.

    So, the question is: how now can I login to my PC?
