  2. Win 10 Password

    Personal Desktop Computer, Win 10 Home. Live alone, computer in secure room, never had a password to boot up. After latest Win 10 update, keeps asking for password. Have tried 3 different suggestion shown on Web, none work, still asks for password Fortunately
    I remembered my Microsoft Acct. password and got logged on using it. Do not want to have to use a password, any Win 10 experts that can show me how to go back to not having to use one? None of the 3 I tried worked.

    Thank You

    WIN 10 Admin password not working.


    This really helped and the Hibernate problem was put to rest, however the pswd is not reset. I am following the default option in NT and at some point it is just cycling around, until i choose to quite. I can see the admin has been selected and some attempts are made to clear the register. I says the pswd appears to be blank and suggest to log in with blank pswd. Also when quitting, it asked to write the changes to the disk - y. But when tested later, there still is a password.
    The program looks pretty neat though.

    Some steps from me: on the pc is a guest acc, so no password. This is still something, then i achieve to get to the Recovery and restart. Now I have tried various options like run Safe mode with Command prompt and type the bcdedit command, which is access denied. Option 2 to run just the command prompt also failed, because ask for admin password.

    Guys, is there any way to get rid of the Safe mode from the recovery/ troubleshoot/ advanced options without the admin password?????

    I found this whole story to be really, really big safety issue for this windows. If the only option is to log in to safe mode with the password(no pin) why the hell, they do not ask for it when switching it on?! Poor programming from everywhere! Also some restriction are easy to go around - after couple of days playing around on this issue.

    Win 10 password

    Hi,

    Thank you for being part of Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to Save the password in Credential Manager and check. Refer to the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Click on Control Panel.
    • Click on Credential Manager" and select "Windows Credentials".
    • Go down to "Generic Credentials" and select "MicrosoftAccount:user=<user_name>" (where <user_name> should be your user name).
    • Click "Edit" and Change the password and press "Save".
    • Check if issue persists.
    Hope this will fix the issue, if not let us know with the updated status and we will be happy to assist you further.
