I have an older desktop comp with 10 on it. I can start it with either the password or with my gmail account. I forgot the password but I can still start use gmail acct. Whenever I have started it with gmail, later on, with my "not 10" comps, the email on them gets so screwed up, I stopped using it, the 10 machine.
If I do start the 10 machine via gmail, the question is: Once I'm running the 10 mach, can I then find or change the password?

If you need to reset the local accounts password you should lookup "Offline NT Password Recovery".
It is a free tool that you can burn to a disc or make a bootable usb drive.
