How to delete an account and use a different one.
I can only access my win 10 by using my pin number as I forgot my password. I want to replace it with another ms account in which I know the password.

Hello gladstoone,
If you like, you could try to reset your Microsoft account's password.

Thanks Brink...guess I can't reset that way as I do not have a reset disk. I have another ms account that I would rather use if possible.
In that case since you do know the PIN, you could do this to keep the same account, but switch it to a new Microsoft account.
1) Create a new Microsoft account online at Microsoft. Don't create a new account for Windows 10.

2) Switch the current Microsoft account in Windows 10 to be a local account.

3) Switch the now local account to a Microsoft account using the new one.
