Need to temporarily disconnect from Entra joined domain

Question

On win11, Settings>Accounts>Access work> disconnect. I am asked for an email with admin rights. I have an "Other user" admin account. It has no email. That account is not accepted.

I created an other user email account. After entering the address, it displays done with no password creation. When I go back to disconnecting from Entra id, I am asked for the email then a password.

I was never offered a chance to enter a password. If I go to user accounts, change password is not available.

So far, this company users Google for email. I am the admin in this business. Why can't I just use the admin account already setup?

I am just trying out Entra and registering devices with Intune. I am still learning. If you need more info, let me know. Thanks

Hi @Terry Vaughn

May I know where you have created the new users account, if you are trying to create a user from Entra ID there are two options to create a password one is manual way and Auto-generated Password. By default, when you create a user Auto-generated Password is selected while creating the account may be this might be the reason you don't get an option to enter a password.
If you have already created a user, you can reset the password for new password.

If you want to remove the device from Entra Join, you need to create a local admin account in your device and use the same credentials when you disconnect from Entra join.

Hope this helps. If you still do not see enough information to isolate the issue, please let me know the comment section.
