Two weeks ago I purchased a HP Pavilion laptop running pre-loaded Windows 8 64 bit for personal use around the home. As a password was not necessary and I followed internet advice and used netplwiz to remove it. After a number of unsuccessful attempts I realised that I had, in my rush to get going in fact created an administrator account, which cannot have it's password deleted. Following windows help screen advice I created a second account and transferred the administrator role to the new account. Having followed the netplwiz procedure carefully a number of times on the newly designated local account I am still stuck with the password. When I first reboot after each attempt it lets me directly into the account but then subsequently after sleep shutdown it comes up locked. What am I doing wrong?
