How to set new password on my local account
Something in Windows 10 changed my local account password, locking me out.
I managed to logon with my "Windows Account" (I have only vague ideas what this is) and I've saved as many of my EFS encrypted files as I can remember.
What I can't do is find a way to reset the password to my local account. I have three local accounts, and they are all Administrators. But no matter who I logon as, I can't find the option to set my local account (steve) password.
When I go through the process as it was on Windows 7, I get to the point where I should be able to change steve's password, but it's not one of the choices.
Can I get my userid and password back without having to delete the account and re-creating it?
