Login not possible Admin user without password? - nicodemo - Dec 12, 2019
Is it possible that for a reason unknown to me, the user created during the first start of Windows 10, then an admin user, (whose password I had left blank), the password has been changed by Windows itself? I ask because now I can no longer log in with this account, leaving the password blank.

Windows will not change a password unless it's given a task to change the password whether by you or someone else. You can try booting from a linux usb or a windows pe environment like TuxPE that would help you recover your account by changing the password

in the past I used lazesoft Recovery suite, but if there is a live distribution of Linux it is even better. Thanks so much!

You can use a Ubuntu bootable.

But I wanted to know if the first account, created during the first start of Windows, was subject to some kind of criterion. For example it could be that Windows automatically changed the password since it was empty. Perhaps for security reasons
