  1. Windows password reset can login using other means


    Hello,


    I'm wondering if there's a way to reset my Windows password.


    The password reset dialog on sign-in screen is asking for a password recovery drive that i do not have and can't make one without a password?


    My issue is, I setup a password for the local account, then signed in with my microsoft account. I usually use fingerprint login, I can also login using my PIN. But I'm bothered by the fact that I don't remember the password used.


    I have the old password for the local account saved in my password manager, but neither it nor my Microsoft account password work for logging in. I'm using the account connected to my microsoft account, or at least I believe so, given it's showing my microsoft account e-mail at the account screen.


    Is there a way to reset the password using other means PIN, fingerprint, microsoft account password or sync it with the one used for my microsoft account?

    And if that's impossible without wiping the system, is there any scenario where I would need the password and couldn't use the PIN or the fingerprint?

    :)
