People often ask me, how to change the password of the computer? It's 2024, and there will be no one who won't change the password of their computer!
When we change the password of the computer, we often encounter two situations, one is that we already have a password and want to change one. There is no password, and you are ready to set up a password to protect the computer. The difference between these two cases is whether you need to fill in the historical password when changing the password.
1. You need to fill in the history password.
1: Use computer shortcut keys to change password.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del at the same time, select "Change Password" from the pop-up options, enter the current password and set a new password. Note: Press Enter to confirm when the new password is entered.
2: Change your password using Control Panel User Management.
Open the Control Panel. Select User Accounts - User Accounts - Manage Other Accounts - Select the account you need to set a password for, click Change Password, enter the old password and the new password twice, click Change and you're good to go.
Two: No historical password is required.
1: Use the computer "Local User and Group Management Password".
Right-click on the desktop of this computer, select Manage, and then select Local Users and Groups (this feature is not available in Win10 Home Edition).
Find the user who needs to change the password, right-click and select Set Password, and you can set a new password.
2: Use the command line to change the password. Search for "cmd" in the taskbar in the lower left corner of the computer, right-click, run with administrator privileges, and open the command prompt.
Then enter the net user username and password, here the admin account is used as an example. If error code 5 is displayed, it means that you did not choose to run with administrator privileges and the privileges are insufficient.
The above are the commonly used methods to change the password of a local user. Of course, there are many ways to log in to Windows boot. The method of modification is also different.
