    Hello Ngavmot, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

    If this is for a Microsoft account, then you could use Option 6 or 7 in the tutorial below to change your password.

    No this is not the Microsoft account

    this is just my Logon password

    I put an arrow in front of the link to help. :)

    It depends on what type of account (Microsoft or local) you are using to sign in to Windows 10 with.

    Let's start over.

    First, is the account you want to change the logon password for a Microsoft account of local account. This is the account you are using to sign in to Windows 10 with.

    Just clarify, did you want to change your password, or just no longer want to sign in to your account at the startup of Windows 10?

    NO Sir

    This is a local account Not the Microsoft account

    and I just want to change it

    I have had a small problem with my Google account last Month
    so Now I am doing the 2 step verification

    and also it is time to change my Log on screen for more security

    I know the password I log in with It every time I restart the PC
    But I would Like to make it a Little stronger
    after what Has happened to me with google

    And thank you for keeping up with me :)

    What happens when you try option 1?

    That's the easiest option to change your local account's password while signed in to the account in Windows 10.
