    Windows 10 HOME Password


    When I was using Windows XP x64, I didn't want to use a password to boot to Windows, so in BIOS, I highlighted "Password" and I just clicked Enter on my keyboard and no password was needed for my computer to boot to Windows.


    Now I have Windows 10 HOME. I tried to do the same thing by changing my password in BIOS to Enter. When Windows was booting up, it still asked me for my password so I pressed Enter. It told me that I had an incorrect password. So I typed in my original password and it told me that my password was incorrect. So I went into BIOS and entered my original password as my password again. When Windows started to boot up, it asked me for my password and I typed in my original password and it told me that my password was incorrect.


    So I clicked on the option to boot to Windows using my MS password and Windows booted up. So I went into BIOS and changed my Windows password to be the same as my MS password. However, when I want to do something as the Administrator in Windows, it asks me for my password but the password that I entered in BIOS, which is the same as my MS password, doesn't work. I'm told that it's incorrect.


    How do I change my password for Windows when Windows won't accept the password that I assign to it? Is there another place in Windows where I need to change my Administrator password that will accept the password that I entered in BIOS and is my MS password?


    Please provide instructions for Windows 10 HOME. HOME doesn't have the same settings/options as other Windows 10 editions.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
