How to change local administrator password?

To change the local administrator password on Windows 11, you can follow these steps:

1. Press the Windows key + X on your keyboard and select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" from the menu.
2. In the PowerShell window, type "net user" and press Enter. This will display a list of all the user accounts on your computer.
3. Find the account you want to change the password for and type the following command: "net user [username] *". Replace [username] with the name of the account you want to change the password for.
4. Press Enter and you will be prompted to enter a new password for the account. Type the new password and press Enter again.
5. You will be prompted to confirm the new password. Type it again and press Enter.
6. Once you have confirmed the new password, you should see a message that says "The command completed successfully."
7. Close the PowerShell window and try logging in to the account with the new password.

Note: If you are not logged in as an administrator, you may need to provide administrator credentials to change the password.
