Many Windows users prefer to set up an account password to keep their accounts secure on the computers. A User Account Password is also known as the Windows Password which is totally different from the Microsoft Account. It is usually a string of characters, numbers and symbols. Users will need to enter the password every time they boot up their computers. This is also to protect any other unauthorized people from accessing the files and folders.
It is necessary to change the user account password regularly to get the most out of it. In this post, I will show you simple steps to change your Windows 11 current user account password.
