Today’s quick tech tip….
How to reset your password on a Windows PC
If you have your PC set up to require a password in order to sign in so you can use the machine, there might come a time when you’ll need to change your existing password to a different one.
For example, someone else might know your password and you want to change it to prevent them from signing in and using your computer.
Or perhaps you have a weak password and you’d like to change it to a stronger one.
Regardless of why you might want to change your password, it’s very easy to do in both Windows 10 and Windows 11. Just follow the steps below:
1 – Click the Start button to display the Start menu.
2 – Start typing the word password and then select Change your password after it appears in the list of search results.
3 – Click Password, then follow the prompts as they appear.
That’s it. Pretty simple, right?
