Password cannot be changed

Question

I'm trying to change my password to access the computer, but it's giving me a message that this action cannot be taken at this time. Is there a work around?

Answer 1

How do you sign in; Microsoft Account or Local Account?

If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more info, go to the Reset your password webpage.
