how to change sign in password

[Nelson Magedman]

I cannot sign into my Windows 10 account because it will not take my password, you cannot sign in by using the account reset method. I can make another account but I need to see the files under my original account. How can you change the password?

local admin = any password will do
Microsoft Account = needs to be changed at Microsofts end (takes about a month on average) official link = Manage Your Microsoft Account in One Place
