How to Change Another User’s Password in Windows 11, 10, or 8
Follow these steps to change another user’s password in Windows 11, 10, or 8. Once signed on, be proactive and have the user create a Windows password reset disk or switch to a Microsoft account, either of which will provide an easier way to get a new password in the future. On touch interfaces, the easiest method in Windows 11, 10, or 8 is through its link on the Start menu (or Apps screen in Windows 8), but the control command or Power User Menu (Windows 8) is probably faster if you have a keyboard or mouse.
