I have following problem:

I have Windows 8.1 and few weeks ago I have created an user with faked microsoft account data. Now I have forgotten the password and I can not reset this password, because I used faked second e-mail for my data and faked names.

The same PC has an administrator account. How can I reset the password of the forgotten account?

I think, I have to change the Microsoft Account in a local account, but how? I don't see such option..

  • Have you tried going to login.live.com and resetting your account password there yet?

  • Yes. But it is impossible, because all data there was faked: Not a real name, not real address, not real second e-mail. So the question is: Can an Admin User, change an different User who uses a Microsoft Account to a local account.

  • Then you're probably screwed dude, give up and make a new account to use on that computer (local or otherwise). :)

From MS's page What to do if you forget your Windows password:

If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:

  • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
  • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more info, go to the Reset your password webpage.
  • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.

If you've tried these suggestions and still can't sign in:

  • If you have Windows 8.1, you'll need to reinstall Windows.
  • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you'll need to contact your PC manufacturer.
