We show you how to reset or change Local User Account password via Admin account in Windows, using netplwiz, Control Panel, Computer Management, CMD, etc.

On Windows 11, you can still create a local account without needing a Microsoft account (also called an offline account), which you can use to determine whether the problem is related to the account.

You can change the admin user on a Windows 10 PC through the Control Panel. However, you'll need to be already logged into an admin account to do it.
