      In the beginning, my husband was administrator and I was standard user. My husband passed away and took his password with him. I need that password to do administrator things.

      How do I do this?

      Norma, I need to gather some info to help you out. What is the operating system and version? If this is a Windows 10 machine, is your husband’s account a Microsoft account(it will show his email under the login name)?

        Windows 10 Pro
        Version 20H2
        It’s a Microsoft account.

        Thanks for replying so quickly.

      Hello Norma,

      If he was indeed using a Microsoft account, you will have to reset that online using his email address. Tap or click here to see how to reset a Microsoft account.
