Task Manager asking for password which I do not have
In a forum here it shows how to Create System Restore Point on Schedule in Windows 10 . At the very end of this process it then says "put in your password" and you're done. I assumed my password was the 4-digit key I use to log in when I boot up. But it doesn't accept that. I searched further here to see what my password might be and it sent me to the registry whereby the registry place with my password does not exist (“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” > “SOFTWARE” > “Microsoft” > “Windows NT” > “CurrentVersion” > “Winlogon” ----> DefaultPassword. Hence I then assumed, since it's not there that I must use a blank space as my pwd and it still did not work. So what on earth is my password supposed to be? Is it the one used when I first installed/reinstalled Windows 10? (This is a home personal PC which I built with parts hence not a brand name.)
Thanks in advance.
