Solved How to remove MS Account Pasword from Windows 8.1

[NickSteel]

I have a Latitude 10 ST2 tablet that I set up originally with my MS Account Password and wish to give away. I would like to created a new user account and remove my MS Account Password access.

How is this best done?

Thanks.

Hello Nick, and welcome to Eight Forums.

Since you're giving the laptop away, it would be best to reset Windows 8 and set up a dummy account during the reset for the new owner to use to set up their own account later.

Reset Windows 8

Giving it to family member and would like to keep everything intact. I have a lot of their stuff on it already.

These little tablets are only $75 refurbished on Ebay and are like new.

In that case, you could create a new account, make it an administrator account, sign in to the new account, and delete your account.
