  I think that what they mean is, you need to move your account to a Microsoft Account:

  You can choose between using your Microsoft Account or a normal user account by going to all PC settings, to the users section. :
  (1) immediately move your mouse to the lower right of the screen until the left menu appears, and then clicking settings (gear icon).
  (2) from there, click on the link "Change PC settings" at the bottom right.
  (3) now, you should be on the menu of the full-screen PC. On the left, go to the section "users."
  (4) on the right side, it will show you your current account with a button that says "change your Microsoft account.

  Once you have configured your Microsoft account (it takes a Windows Live ID (Hotmail or MSN) account.

• Need to change password on the first login to the local account in Windows 8/8.1/10

  I need to create an about a dozen local accounts on a MS Surface Pro 3 running Windows 8.1 which is shared in a working environment.

  I would create each account with a fake password and force the user to change the password immediately to the first connection.

  How do I do that? Is the technique for Windows 10 the same?

• The Windows 8.1, Firefox runs on a local account but not on a domain account

  I just moved to Surface Pro 3 running Windows Pro 8.1. Firefox works correctly when you are connected to a local account. When you are connected to a domain account, Firefox will run *.html documents properly on a disc, but doesn't show any response to any internet orders. I have disabled the firewall for the domain - no change. I changed the domain account for administrator - no change. I have reset Firefox to default setting - no change. I created a new profile - no change. I disabled the hardware accelerator - no change. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times - no change, what should I try then help identify the problem.

  I solved the problem. My browser Internet Explorer (IE) has been configured to use a proxy server. Firefox has been set to "Use system proxy settings", but do not have the name of the proxy server. Remove the IE proxy server solves the problem. Maybe Firefox should use "Autodetect proxy for this network settings' as default, Firefox installation setting is not dependent on the settings of IE year / this.

• How can I change a password for the local account of a pc that can not be connected remotely?

  Hi all

  I am currently based in London. I have a problem with the laptop of a staff based in Africa. We built the laptop and it shipped to them. As part of the construction, we put on our account standard administrator and then made a local account that they are not connected to our area.

  The user in this Africa Office has changed the local password of its account and now don't remember making it so the unable to connect to PC. I don't want to tell him our administrator password, because it is the same for all our PC in the world. I have studied a lot of things to try to connect to the computer, but it is now possible.

  I tried:

  1 navigation to the machine from another pc on the network using explroer and I see the C drive.

  2. I tried to run this command, but I get just error 1219: net use \\pcname\ipc$ / user: pcname\administrator *.

  3 RDP will not work, it will not just connect.

  4. the PC that I use is 8 Windows Home Edition and none of the business I've noticed is a problem of computer management doesn't have users and groups it seems. The remote pc is Windows 7 Enterprise.

  So for now I just a laptop that is stuck on the login screen.

  I guess I'm doomed then?

  No, you are not condemned. I gave you a recipe to solve your problem. Give the person a password for admin for a few minutes does not compromise the integrity of the machine, as long as you then reset the password in a few minutes.

  If this person can burn a CD repair system on another machine of Windows 7 then it can use to start the machine in Windows Repair Mode. From there it can use system restore to set up Windows to a point before he changed the password. You need to exercise on your own machine to guide him through the process.

• Cannot change the local account to the Microsoft account error: 0x800c0008

  Original title: cannot change microsoft account in windows 8

• Account name My Vista "a name of the user [name] account log does not exist on Windows Home Server" is not, despite the change.

  My Windows Home Server (WHS) prefer the same name of user account on all computers that I use - for the connection and easier access to the files. So to my Vista computer, I changed my account [ancien_nom] name [name]. Vista indicates the name of the new account everywhere but the server after a while (!) stopped recognizing my account and complains about "a name of the user [name] account log does not exist on Windows Home Server" suggesting I should change the name of the account on the ESM. Since I have other computers where I can't change the name of the account (work computer), for this purpose I changed the name of the account on my Vista computer.

  The reason why the WHS could work properly at the beginning maybe I can connect to the WHS folders in a separate process by using the new account name. Choose to save the password - which might have worked for a while, but no more. I also tried to connect as a network device, but I do not correctly reconnect with the identification information data (and saved).

  1 is the name of initial account stored anywhere even if I changed and the reason why it can pop as in this case?

  2. any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  3. or is the problem only on the side WHS - then I might have to turn to a WHS forum

• I can map a network drive by using the appropriate credentials, but access is denied (by default local account for navigation)

  I have a laptop running XP SP3.  If I connect locally to the laptop and you try to map a network from a server drive on my network, it invites me for a username and password that I offer and the player must then be mapped.  The problem is that when I click on the new player, I get an access denied message.  It tries to connect to the share with my local account that has no access privileges.  Previously it tempt me a username and password, but apparently, I changed some security settings and it doesn't do this more.

  The same thing happens if I use the command net use.  I can map the drive by providing an appropriate user name and password, but I can't browse it in windows Explorer.  I really want to understand the context that controls if you get a prompt when you access a resource on the network.  I think that it is related to the setting of security strategy for network access: sharing and security for local accounts.  I played a bit with it, but in vain.

  I realize that I could probably add an account with the same username / password for my local account on the server and give access to my file shared.  I don't want to do that.  I have several users who share the laptop and access the local account access (I realize this is not ideal, but it is inevitable at the present time).  I don't want to have access to this network share.

  Can someone help me get my login prompt?  I searched on google for the last 2 days trying all kinds of suggested solutions, but I couldn't find one that works.

  Too bad... I was hoping that was the problem.  But at least it now asks you a name of user and password :-)

  Apart from that, you could look to make sure that NetBios over TCP (NetBT) is enabled on the client.  Deactivation of this force a direct hosting of SMB which sometimes has problems.

  "Hosting of SMB over TCP/IP direct".
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/204279 >

  Your latest comments seem to point to a followed initial connection or bad connect more or maybe you is not authenticated as expected.  A few quick tests, I did showed that if you connect using TCP/IP address instead of the computer name and specify everything, including the scope of user name online net "use", it reduces the network traffic needed to establish a connection.  As a test on a client, from a command prompt, try a syntax such as:

  NET use * \\192.168.1.10\share /user:192.168.1.10\username password

  Where "192.168.1.10" is the IP address of the server, 'share' is the name of the action that you want to connect to and "username" is the local user on the server to which you authenticate you.  If you use domain identification information, substutite for "192.168.1.10" domain name in the "/ user:" part.  If you log to a local account server from a name of user and password graphic prompt, try to including the name of the computer and the user name in the user name as in Nom_ordinateur\Nom_utilisateur area.  If it does not, unless there is really something wrong with the access permissions, I'm out of ideas.

  Good luck

  Hello

  Passage of the account Microsoft local account will not affect your personal documents saved on the computer.

  Reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2782145

  It would be useful that you could provide more information on the problem faced with synchronization.

  -What is the exact error you get when synchronization Mail app and other apps?

  -Do you use all parameters of proxy to access the internet?

  -Remember to make changes before the show?

  -What anti-virus software is installed on the computer?

  If you encounter the problem of synchronization with all applications, then I ran the http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/2/4/F24D0C03-4181-4E5B-A23B-5C3A6B5974E3/apps.diagcab Apps store

  Navigate through the steps mentioned in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/what-troubleshoot-problems-app

  Check if you have any proxy enabled. If so, then delete it.

  a. open Internet Explorer.

  b. click on tools and select Internet Options.

  c. click on connections.

  d. click on LAN settings.

  e. remove the check mark next to proxy server.

  f. click OK and check if you are able to synchronize emails.

• Windows 8 local account hijacked, nobody has their private Windows account

  I got a computer at work that is open for many people to use. We have an administrator account, which is password protected, and a 'local' account without password, which is available for other employees and customers access. This account has limits so that whenever there is an attempt to change the settings, install something, etc., a box will appear asking for the administrator password to proceed.

  Today, I discovered that the local account is gone, and someone's personal account of Windows took his place, with their profile photo and e-mail. I can not log in because it is protected from their personal password. It seems that, in the account without password, a user may have changed the account to be local to sync with their Windows account.
  First, my question is how does this happen without asking the administrator password? What can I do to prevent it happening again?
  Second, is there a way to change this account to being local, without having the password of this Windows user? This account has installed programs and settings, which would be very annoying to need to go through setting up again. As an administrator, how to enter this account to remove the password and return to a local account?
  Thanks in advance for any help! :)

  Hi, Crimson,

  I tried to reproduce this problem on my computer, and here's what I did.

  -A local account(without a password) and account administrator (with a password).

  -J' have been able to change the local account on behalf of Microsoft (with a password) without any administrator password prompt.

  - Then I tried to connect to the administrator account. Go to the computer management window (in the run line, type compmgmt.msc and press enter), select local users and accounts , and then click users.

  -Click right to the account that has been changed on behalf of Microsoft and click on delete.

  -The account has been deleted, and I was able to create a new user account.

  Note: You will not be able to remove the password on the account, unless you connect through this account.

  Since you do not want to give administrative privileges to a user account, here's what you can try.

  -In the line run , type compmgmt.msc , and then press on enter.

  -Go to local users and groups and then click users.

  -On the empty space, click on select new user.

  -Enter a user name, place a check on the user cannot change the password , and click create.

  -Once the new user account is created, right-click on it and click Properties.

  -Select the tab Member of , and then click Add.

  - Guests and press ok.

  -You will have two entries in the Member of list. Select users , and then click Remove.

  -Restart the computer and log on the new user account.

  This user account will have guest privileges. He will ask an administrator password whenever he tries to change the settings.

  Hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let us know.
