Locked out of computer after win10 update

I am locked out of my computer because I purchased the computer online i never needed a user name or password so I never changed any of the precious owner's admin settings. On Saturday the computer automatically upgraded to windows 10 and is now
asking me for a password, which I don't have and I do not have access to any of the previous owners information! I purchased the computer for quickbooks pos for my business. So now I cant log into my computer or access my pos to run my business! Please help!

 

No internet coming out of sleep after coming out of sleep

I am having the same problem, except my connection is WiFi. The wireless router has been programmed so that the SSID is not broadcast. Whenever the WiFi adapter on my computer is turned off, either manually by me or by turning off the computer, it is unable
to reconnect to the network unless I manually enter in the SSID and password. Once I enter in the information, the WiFi does connect, and then shows multiple network names with 2,3,4,5, etc after it, I'm assuming because I've manually entered in the information
that many times.

It should be noted that I have selected the option that the computer automatically connect even if the SSID is not broadcasting its name and so that it should automatically connect. There are no issues with any of my other devices. It should be noted that
this issue has only begun after the most recent automatic update two days ago. I have tried all of the suggestions above to no avail as my driver is already up-to-date. What else can be done to correct this issue. It is becoming frustrating having to enter
in all of the information every time my computer goes to sleep and then wake up.

 

You can try to add a password and then remove it. I don't know what "PO" is?

 

You know, after the thing's been powered on for quite a while, maybe left on overnight, I turn the screen part back on, but then it asks me for my password there too. How do I turn that​ off?

 

check the user accounts section

enter netplwiz in the search box and enter

-highlight your account (admin if you're the only one.. if you have multiple you'll have to set it for each one how you want it)
-if it's already highlighted, check and uncheck the 'users must enter a password' box at the top (this allows you to click 'apply' at the bottom to move on to the password page)
-if you want to have people enter a password, leave it checked.. if not, leave it blank
-click apply
-then it'll ask you to enter your password, which you will.. click 'ok'.
now depending on if you checked or unchecked the password box on the last screen, the computer will automatically log in with the password you just entered, or will require people logging in to enter that password to start the computer..

not sure if this is exactly what you're talking about but I know I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to do an auto login so I know this area is where you set a password for either auto turn on or for locking the computer and requiring an entered password to get back in..

 

actually I think I found what you're talking about.. go into the 'system' section instead of 'accounts' in the settings.. navigate as below..

-settings/
-system/
-power & sleep/
-additional power settings (at the bottom right)/
-require a password on wakeup/
-change settings that are currently unavailable/ (unlocks password protection on wakeup section at bottom)
-require a password

I just checked it and the above works to force password login while waking up from sleep.. but it doesn't require one on startup IF you have it set not to require one as I posted in my first message above.. but if you want it on startup as well, change it as described in my first post also.

 

Thank You! This works for me.
