  1. Windows 11 asks for password


    When I installed Windows 11 on my PC I signed in using my Microsoft account and never created a password, only a pin. Now when I attempt to access my PC using the Microsoft Remote Desktop software, or when I attempt to my PC's FTP server I need a username and password. I have tried all the username/password I can think of, but none of them have worked. I also cannot find a way of creating a password as Windows Hello only supports facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, pin, or security key. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Lost My Administrator Password

    To which "this" are you referring?
    - If you are following the tutorial Bree suggested in the very first reply to your question then what you need to do at each step is explained in detail. So which step are you at?
    - If you are following a different procedure then state what it is and which step you are at. If, for example, you are trying to manually enable the Built-In Admin as suggested in post #11 then that account has no password.

    You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.
