How can I change, set and remove the password under Windows 11?


You can also change or set the password under Windows 11, but it is not only valid if you are using a local account!



The MS account refuses to set the password, you currently use by default the PIN login, Windows Hello, ... and other methods, even via MS PowerShell or local group policies, there is nothing to be done here because Windows 11 refuses. It is different with a local account, here you can do it in different ways!

3.) Why is it not possible with the MS account?

In terms of security, Microsoft wants to take a step into the future with these measures. So it shouldn't be viewed as patronizing or neutering. 

The PIN solution is also not bad when trying to set a password, as I said, an error message always comes up!  

( ... see Image-3 Point 1 to 4 ) 

Error message-1:

You are logged on under the user account "xxxxxxxx". You have decided to reset the password for your local user account.

Resetting a password can result in data loss. For security reasons, Windows protects certain data so that it cannot be accessed after the password is reset.

The data will be lost the next time you log out.

You should only use this command if you have forgotten your password and do not have a password reset disk. If you know your password and want to change it, press Ctrl + Alt + Del and click Change Password.

Click help for more information.


 
Error message-2:

When trying to set the password for user "xxxxxxxx", the following error occurred:
 
The operation cannot be performed because the system is not authoritative for the specified account. Repeat the process with the provider associated with this account. If the supplier is online, use the supplier’s online website.
