Password of User Account - Remove in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
Check out this tutorial from @Brink:)
I've no idea what the password is or when it was setup even! Just tried to create another local user family account, but no joy, I get 'Something went wrong. Try again or tap cancel to setup your device later'. I did a reboot but get the same thing. I wonder if this is why I only have the one user admin account, not being able to create another account?
More info:
I managed to create another local user admin but couldn't give it a name, I could only enter an email address. It opened the account as password protected even though I wasn't given an option to enter one. I didn't want one anyway.
I removed Reflect again, cleaned registry and reinstalled again. Set up a windows system backup, gave it a schedule and it asked for password again!
Why does it ask for this on a free version?
Same here, but when I'm happy with the schedule and click Finish up comes that pesky password screen, every time I try it. Don't you get that then?
Something that came to mind, but I do not use, or ever have, so I have no experience with:
Are you using BitLocker or any other type of disk encryption, that might require a password?
No, I don't go in for that stuff, I try to be careful but like I said, I'm the only one ever likely to use this system.
I don't get this bit about when I created a new user account, it just came up with it password protected. Is there any way I can remove it? Presumably MS wouldn't allow that. I can't help thinking this might be the problem although it only started just recently, had no trouble at all before.
Does it matter what build of Reflect I use now? I'm on 1502 but i did try 1495. Are they both 'patched' for the anniversary?
Have you tried activating the built in admin account?
In cmd (with admin rights): net user Administrator /active:yes
To deactivate it again: net user Administrator /active:no
Maybe the password prompt somehow refers to the built in (but normally hidden) admin account.
