Dear alt.comp.microsoft.windows,

I recently had the displeasure of being forced to change my password on
my Windows 11 tower.  Now, I want to reset the password on the Windows
10 computer, so they are again the same -- that way, I believe the
shares I set up earlier this year will work again -- and I have no idea
how to do that.  I tried looking it up on the Microsoftian website, but
got this utterly useless drivel,

  
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accounts-billing/security/change-or-reset-your-microsoft-account-password-in-windows

because I do not want to lock my screen, nor log out, when I change my
password.  Nor do I care about changing the password of the Microsoftian
account, because that's different, and I don't use it to log myself in
locally.

Then, to top it off, I want to reconfigure my Windows 11 tower such that
it will never ask me to change the password, again.  I am perfectly
willing to remember that on my own.


Can a kind soul here in alt.comp.microsoft.windows point me in the right
directions for either of these tasks?
