Win.8 64 bit
set computer to require password - (now don't remember how i did that was moving-wanted it 'secure')....
yesterday via on line instructions (win.+R -typed in something now i forget) , tried to cancel password...it didn't take so continued using computer - shut down for the nite but signing-on this a.m. it asked for my password as usual but this time it asked for my microsoft acct (original PW didn't work anymore) - i have an Outlook email acct so i tried that but that + its password didn't work .... tried alternates offered ...then don't remember what i hit - i think it was one of the two 'keys' showing below where you'd put in your password, and finally the px of 'owner' showed up and i typed in my name (owner-original PW) and it worked .... what can i do now before i shut down computer for the nite ? thanks in advance..
