Windows 10: win 10 login. Lost password

I have an Interactive Flat Panel Display with a small win 10 computer docked into it.

previous user put security login on and now I can't get the password as they are not reachable.

there is no Microsoft account attached. I figure I have to use a USB and reconfigure somehow. I don't care about any of the data on there.

I guess my question becomes how exactly. please provide instructions or a link.

Thanks for responses in advance

:)

 

Password issue

After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???

 

Can't disable login password Win 10

Hello,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

• 
  How many user accounts have you set up on the computer?
  

You might face this issue if you have entered a wrong password or selected a different user account while unchecking the option
"Users must enter a username and password to use this computer". I would suggest you to follow these steps and check if it helps:

• Press Windows key + R on the keyboard.
• Type “control userpasswords2” without quotes and press
  Enter.
• Click on the User account to which you login.
• Uncheck the option "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer". If it is already unchecked, then place a check mark and then uncheck it.
• You will be requested to enter the Username and Password. Fill in the details correctly. Type in the
  Username, Password and Confirm Password manually.
• Click on OK and then again OK.
• Restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

Let us know the results and if you need further assistance and we’ll be happy to help.

 

Password login


Hi all, first post so please go easy on me*Redface

So I have Windows 10 and want to get rid of the password protected login feature. I found some steps on this site which are vaguely "On your windows 10 Start menu window, right click at the Win logo > select Run option > in the Run box type netplwiz > OK > follow the prompts.
Restart Win 10."

Did that. On restart, I didn't need a password. Naturally, I thought the problem was solved. Nope. When the computer goes to sleep, I need to enter a password to re-open it; when it is turned off or restarted, I don't need a password.

Anyone know what I did wrong?

Thanks
