How can I get the current password of my account?

Studynxx · 15 Nov 2022

Following scenario: I have a laptop and a desktop PC. I can log into both with my PIN. However, when I attempt to establish a remote connection to my desktop PC, for some reason, when I try to log in with this PIN, it doesn't work. It tells me the username or password is incorrect. Very strange.

I don't want to change the PIN. I want to view the list of usernames and passwords (for each username) on the given PC.

How can I do that?

You can't that would be hacking if it's a ms login then it's your email password if you loving in as admin you should be able to change password

Indeed I can. Yes, when I go to CP, it gives me my email account as the account that"s logged in

And yet I can"t use my email password, it still says it"s incorrect

You can only reset your password not see it.

Preps for the reset:-

I urge you to create a spare, password-protected Local Admin account before proceeding. That spare account will allow you to get into your system if anything goes wrong during the reset & will remain a valuable protection against user profile corruption for the future. Personally, I create two spare, password-protected Local Admin accounts.

Use Options 3 or 4.

Would my system image from earlier also work?

If you have to restore that system image, it will initially be problematic.
It will think that your new password is incorrect. It ought to correct itself straight away or almost straight away as long as you are already online when you try to log in to the computer. But others have reported problems with it taking ages for the login to realise that there's a new password.
And it will overwrite & destroy your new spare, password-protected Local Admin account.

I suggest you make a new system image as soon as the password reset has been completed & you have logged into that MSAccount again.
- This new system image will also ensure that your new spare, password-protected Local Admin account also exists if you ever have to restore the image.

All the best,
Denis
