| 1463204 | 2019-08-20 18:16:00 | Someone gave me a laptop with the password to get in so no problem. I want to change the password so I go to Setting - Password - Change your account password - Change - So you put in your password in order to change the password however it tells me this is a Microsoft account which is a different password. I don't care about the Microsoft account. All I want to do is change the password to log into the computer. | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
| 1463205 | 2019-08-20 21:40:00 | Its a catch22 ( funny program if you want to watch it on TV on Demand) Anyhows -- To change the password if its a Microsoft account you can change it to a local account / password, BUT to do that you first have to sign into the Microsoft account allowing the option to change. So two options ( you need to decide) either a local Account or MS account. If you dont know the Password for the MS account, try this -- In the Control Panel ( not setting, old Control Panel) - Credential Manager look for the Microsoft account, expand it, if it shows the word "Show" click that, it will prompt for a password, try the one you already know ( to log in with), if its the right one it will show the Microsoft password, if wrong then you'll need the actual MS password. 9891 |

Just change Win login from Live to local a/c. www.zdnet.com Some other programs that use a MS account are Office 365, One drive, online email (outlook.com) or any other MS program. BUT you can use the MS account to sign into these if you want without having the whole Computer on a MS account, you can have both a local account and MS. All my computers sign into a Local Server. Trouble is to many people are in such a hurry they just click things without actually reading the options and end up signing in the complete computer. 9892 |
