How to convert the local account to a Microsoft account?

Help please. I'm trying to convert a local account log in on a Windows PC to a microsoft account so I can activate parental controls for my son. God knows why you can't control a local account not more. However, I do not get an option to convert - any help appreciated please.

You should be able to do it by opening the PC Settings page and select "Accounts" (the fastest way there is in the start menu, click on the picture of the user and select ' edit photo account ").

Just under the user name, you should see a link: "To connect to a Microsoft account" click on a link and follow the instructions.

  • Somehow, I blocked my user account (login) and I tried to help but can't find any info. How to UNLOCK the user account. Than k you

    The user has clicked on Vista, the little lock at the bottom of the START window.

    Somehow, I blocked my user account (login) and I tried to help but can't find any info. How to UNLOCK the user account. Thank you

    Hello

    Click the account icon that was locked and enter the password IF you know and otherwise:

    Try Safe Mode - several times, press F8 that you start. The Admin account there is no default password
    so unless someone has changed, you should have access there. Then Control Panel - accounts - users
    Manage another account - use this down your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
    then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
    Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
    wish.

    If no joy Mode without failure:

    Try this - use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
    then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
    Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
    wish.

    Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
    repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

    DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

    Hello

    "What to do if you forget your password Windows 8/8.1"

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8

    If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

    • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

    • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

    If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.

    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.
