    How change LOGIN password to Windows 10


    I just tried to change my login password to my computer. Followed the instructions and got no error message. However, when I rebooted and tried to sign in, it wouldn't accept my new password. It only accepted my old password. Need help here, thanks.

    I also noticed that I only have one account with which to sign in. I used to have more than one administrator account - one with out requiring a password to sign in. How do I add that account?

    During this exercise, I "accidentally" added a family member to be able to sign in. I didn't want to do this - but don't know how to delete this family member.
