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..

If you just want a quick solution so you can shut down for the night and sort this out tomorrow, go to control panel, User Accounts and create a new admin user account with a password(write it down), don't worry about apps and programs, and then tomorrow you can sort everything out, the main thing is you have an admin account you can boot into to make any necessary changes later.

SINCE i finally got online (now forgot how) and before i read your above advice, i went to PC Settings (lower right screen) /took me to : change password settings/users/sign-in options/''change password'' choice and typed- in my original p.w. (the one i was using before i messed around and got into trouble this a.m.) ...this is what i originally did to set the password i was using prior to my move so no one could access my computer ...never used a password before that time .... was this ok to do? thanks !

As long as it accepted it you're good. You may want to leave it that way and type netplwiz and untick user must enter password and then enter your password twice, and then you won't have to enter the password again unless you change the setting(this is what I do) Just make sure you save your password somewhere safe, if you should need it again. Under the advanced tab you can also check what passwords you have saved on your PC.

This is hard because I have been on Win10 for a while now. If you changed your password in the settings app entered the "new password" then confirmed it by entering a second time be it a microsoft account or local it was changed, Just make sure you're on a Admin account, a quick check would be to try and open up an admin command prompt, and if you don't have to enter a password, you're in an admin account already.

I JUST REPEATED THE CHANGE WITH SAME PASSWORD , CONFIRMING THE PASSWORD 2X, ETC. - IT SHOWED THAT IT WORKED AND IT'S SHOWING AS A ''LOCAL' ACCOUNT ...BUT WILL THIS NOW SUPERCEDE THE NEED TO ENTER MY MICROSOFT ACCOUNT TITLE AND ALLOW ME NOW TO SIGN IN JUST USING THIS ''LOCAL ACCOUNT'' (THIER WORDS) ....but your other suggestion to make sure 'it' took was to open up an admin command - went to User account - saw upper right showed adm. acct password protected...what does 'that' mean? OK WENT TO 'users'' saw upper rite area stating ''local account'' administrator password protected'' does that mean when i just set-up this 'local account' (actual words showing ''local account created'') when i completed changing the password is now working and all i ahve to do when i boot up is enter the new password i just did ? sorry if i confused you with all of this ..

That just means you are using an admin account with a password. That's good, just like me:

this is windows 10, i can't remember for 8 if it's the same, but i would guess so. I'm using a microsoft account if that helps. If you look at this tutorial shawn's shows the name he uses too. http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5536-user-account-add-new-user-windows-8-a.html
Click to expand...
ok just looked and i got lost after first shawn's suggestion - sorry - you really tried to help - i'm o.k. Now ...once on line finally i went to lower right -brought up the ''charms'' /settings /that got me into ''change pc settings/users/sign in options and then choose ''change password'' and that did work - it was the same thing i did originally to set up password that 'was' working 'until' i tried to get rid of needing a password when i booted up . While i'd like not to need a pw to get to the desktop after booting up, i'll just live with it because it seems 'tricky' trying to eliminate a password, once it is in place.... Many many thanks !~!!!

Just use what I suggested in post #4 with "netplwiz" and it will boot to your desktop directly, what happens is Windows logs you in automatically then. Other than that, you're very welcome:)

here's what you wrote: As long as it accepted it you're good. You may want to leave it that way or type in netplwiz and untick user must enter password and then enter your password twice, OK I SAW WHERE TO UNCHECK ''USER MUST ENTER PASSWORD'' BUT I DON'T SEE ANYPLACE ON THAT AREA TO ENTER MY PASSWORD ... and then you won't have to enter the password again unless you change the setting(this is what I do

ahhhh ok got it !!! ..here's the thing: Way it is setup now is only thing i'm asked for is ''password'' ...just one line - i don't have to type in a user-name plus a password .... And i don't have a 'user name' (that i know of ) i think i'll just leave well=enough alone and live with having to type on the one line using my password (that's all is asked for) and then get to desktop ... You've been very kind to try and help ...i just don't want to end up back to square-one ....i'm sure you understand - best - edythe
(besides i'll have to upgrade to 8.1 soon in order to qualify for '10 and maybe 8.1 will be a different method to get out of a setup password - lol

Click to expand...
you really tried !!! You're right about a 'password' being more 'secure' ...no one uses this machine but me but what the heck ...if i eventually get a new machine no one could get into it when i ''toss' it ..
Many many thanks for all the trouble you went to ...so very much appreciated !!
