Surprised I didn't find this question already ...
My kid tried to set a password for their standard account on a Windows 10 system. Unfortunately the log in fails. I can get in as admin, but going through the settings interface only seems to allow me to set the admin password. My web search feels like it is leading me down the proverbial rabbit hole, telling me to go to the command prompt and type
net user "USERNAME" "NEW_PASSWORD"
However, I get a System Error 5 (which is "Access denied" from what I found on the web).
So, how can I overwrite another user's password from a Windows 10 admin account?
