Windows 10 or 11 password change​

info

嘿，Friends! Is it time to change your computer password? Whether it is to protect your computer from naughty kids or voyeurs, it is worth a brand new password. Today, I will show you how to change your password in Windows 10 and 11 easily and happily, without any headaches!

Method 1: Find the password world in "Settings"​

Don't worry, the steps are super simple, just follow me!

Steps:​

  1. Summon the "Settings" ambassador Use the shortcut key Win + I to summon "Settings" - if your hand speed is fast enough, it will pop up instantly!

  2. Turn to the "Account" area After entering, select "Account". This is your base camp for managing passwords.

  3. Go to "Login Options" Find "Login Options" in the menu on the left! There are not many options, so don't be afraid of clicking the wrong one.

  4. Find "Password" and click "Change" Do you see "Password"? Click that "Change"! Don't worry, you won't get an electric shock.

  5. Verify your identity (yes, you are the owner!) The system will doubt whether you are yourself (funny, right?), so you need to enter the old password to prove your identity first.

  6. Enter the new password and leave yourself a hint Again! Enter a resounding new password. Then leave a password hint to prevent yourself from getting confused.

  7. **Press the "Finish" button and the password is done! ** Hey! It's done, and you immediately become the legal owner of the new password!

Method 2: Use the old-fashioned password change method through the "Control Panel"​

Do you think the control panel is outdated? Then you underestimate it! It is an ancient password management god!

Steps:​

  1. Summon the old antique "Control Panel" Open the "Start" menu and search for "Control Panel" to let its dusty screen see the light of day again.
  2. Select "User Accounts", this is your position After entering, find "User Accounts"! This name is quite domineering, right?
  3. Click "User Account" again Yes, you have to click it again, be patient, the control panel has its own temper.
  4. Click "Change Account Password" Select the account whose password you want to change (usually the one you are currently logged in), and click "Change Password".
  5. Give an old password and a new password Just like recognizing your relatives, enter your old password and then a new password to be the successor!
  6. **Click "Change Password" and you're done! ** Click the "Change Password" button again, and you're done. The old-fashioned way is really stable!

Method 3: For big guys only - change passwords in the command prompt​

This is suitable for computer big guys, especially those who like to type code. Please call it the command line method!

Steps:​

  1. Call out the command prompt Search for "cmd" in "Start", right-click after finding it, and select "Run as administrator" - a must-have for big guys.

  2. Enter the secret code Enter this mysterious command in the command prompt:

net user username new password

For example, if the username is admin and the new password is P@ssw0rd123, then enter:

net user admin P@ssw0rd123
  1. Press Enter Do not doubt it, press Enter, if "Command completed successfully" pops up, it means the password has been changed successfully, and it is done easily!

Tips: The password should also be "fashionable"​

  • Strong passwords are more secure: Think about whether you will be cracked in 100 years? So add more symbols and numbers, and be more fashionable!

  • Password hints should be reliable: Write the hints casually, don't write them like detective novel riddles, your future self may not understand them.

  • Don't make it too simple: Forget about 123456, it's too simple and someone can crack it with just a glance!

OK! Try these three methods, there will always be one that suits you. Change your password, protect your data with peace of mind, and have a cup of coffee!
