windows request every time administrator user name and password

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



To be able to assist you in a better way, please reply with the below requested details:

• Are you logged in as an Administrator?
  
• How many user accounts are there in the computer?
  
• Were you using a local account or a Microsoft account?
  
• Since when are you facing this issue?
  

Ideally, you will be asked for an admin password or username only when you are logged in as a standard user. I would suggest you to follow the steps to check the account type you are logged in to:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type control and click on
   OK.
   
3. Select Large icons from the drop down for
   View by.
   
4. Click on User Accounts.
   
5. You will see the user account name and the account type.
   

Deleting an administrator account through a standard user account is not possible, there must be more than 1 administrator account on the computer to delete an account.



However, if you have not made any changes in the user account folder of the profile and if you have a system restore point, you can try to perform a System Restore from Windows Recovery Environment. Follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Follow the steps from the article
   How to create Windows 10 installation DVD/USB flash drive Step-by-Step Guide to create installation media.
   
2. Boot the computer using the bootable USB, select the
   Language and click on Next.
   
3. On the Install now screen, select
   Repair your computer.
   
4. Select Troubleshoot >> Advanced options >> System Restore.
   
5. Select Windows 10 to continue.
   
6. On the System Restore page select
   Next.
   
7. Select the point (date and time) before the admin account was deleted, and click
   Next.
   
8. Click on Finish and click on
   Yes. Wait for the System Restore process to complete.
   

Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.

Win 10 Constantly Requesting Password After Entering Sleep Mode


Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any idea on how to stop Win 10 requesting password after going into sleep mode. What I have tried netplwiz and unchecked box and also a Microsoft Rep suggested to access user accounts through cmd which I did and that helped a little to where computer needs to enter sleep mode to request password where as before when screen just shut off to save power and hitting power button before sleep activated password request happened. The device is a Surface 3 with Win 10 from 8.1 where 8.1 never had this issue. Also, I think is weird, when sign in comes up it says switch user in bottom left but computer only has one user that I can verify through control panel and cmd using net users. So issue is tablet goes into sleep mode will request password but instead of entering password you can hit power button and select restart then Win 10 signs right in, weird. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I understand that you forgot the administrator account password and you are unable to login. We will help you to resolve the issue.

I suggest you to log in to built in administrator account and create a new administrator account.

Please try the steps given below and check if it helps.

  From the Lock screen, click on
  Power button.

  Press and hold the Shift key from the Keyboard and Click on
  Restart and try to enter the Safe mode.
  

Kindly try to start your computer in Safe mode from the Windows Recovery Environment. Follow the below step.

Step 2:

• After your PC restarts to the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot
  > Advanced options > Startup Settings >Restart.
• After your PC restarts, select a startup setting as Safe Mode by pressing the corresponding number.

Once you have entered into the Safe mode then, open Command Prompt and enable Built in Administrator.

Step 3:

Follow the below steps to enable Built in Administrator:

• 
  Open Command Prompt from
  Windows Recovery Environment.
  
• 
  Copy and paste the below command and press Enter.
  

net user administrator /active:yes

• 
  Close the Command Prompt.
  
• 
  Try to login though Built in Administrator and change the earlier password or you can create new user account.
