Did you use a microsoft account or where you/her illogical in using a local account?
If you did the sensible thing and used the microsoft account you can reset your password from another PC as long as the tablet does have a wifi connection. When you login on windows 8 if you have an internet connection it will actually connect to the internet to see if your microsoft account password has changed, enables you to use the same password across multiple machines and changing password on 1 machine updates all, also helps if you forget your password

Otherwise. If its a local account. Its your own blooming fault if you forget your own password.

That's what I mean aswell. The password you log into the computer with. When you get a windows 8 device it asks very clearly if you want to use/create a microsoft account to log in with, or if you want to make an account on that device only. And it heavily biases towards using the microsoft account (there is next to 0 reason to use local for a consumer).
If you or your sister ignored the big full screen page asking which to use, well sorry, your either gonna just have to try the password reset I linked to and hope you did select to use a microsoft account or accept that forgetting the password is a bad idea (infact I cant even work out for the life of me how one even does that). If it is the latter option, its fixable. I dont know how though. I guess booting into recovery and resetting the entire device that way would work, would restore the tablet to the state it came from the factory in so you will have to set it up and install all your software from scratch, in which case USE A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT SO THIS CANT HAPPEN AGAIN. You cant even use the app store properly with a local account, I think it lets you buy stuff but if you lose that account you lose your purchases. Whereas I have both my desktop and laptop configured with microsoft accounts, went on laptop (newer of the 2), went on store, it has all my apps listed already. The app I bought on my laptop is now installed on the desktop too without having to buy it again.
EDIT:
If you set a BIOS password as GoodDayToDie suggested, yeah, you better hope you remember that password because its not resettable and its not covered by manufacturers warranty, home or gadget insurance probably wont even be coerced into paying out for that.
He might have set a BIOS password... in that case, you're SOL.
Also, fix your damn thread subject.

When I set up an exchange account the phone ask me to set a password. Now every time I turn on my phone it or wake it up it asks me to enter the password. How do I remove the password???
If you were forced to set a password when you set up exchange activesync then the password is enforced, you can't remove the need for a password as long as you sync to that server.
The IT policy is set by whoever administers the server for all connected devices, most companies would use that setting for example to protect their data.
Who is hosting your exchange? Is it a work account?
It's 1&1. I really wish i knew that before i bought. Everytime I wake up the phone I have to put in a darn code. Is there any way around this? Very annoying.
Only way around it is to remove the exchange connection.
It's a server-wide policy - to cope for some users needing passwords, maybe even their own staff it will have been set up.
I'd stick with it personally, the device is more secure when lost with it enabled... I carry a wizard and Blackberry - both need password entry but I'm used to it
This week end I tried to sync my oulook mailbox and it asked me to accept new security policy.
It was in fact my company that upgraded to latest Outlook mail server with push functionality.
I was very happy and push is working fine.
But now I also have this annoying Pin code to enter every hour.
Also even when I entered the code and I am free to use my phone during one hour, I noticed that each time I turn it on I have a blank screen for 1 seconde before it loads the today page slowly.
This password feature is not nice at all and I really want to get rid of it.
I am pretty sure we will be able to find some regkey to unlock this stupid security policy like in HKLM\security\Policies\Policies.
It has to be a user choice in the end.
Do you know if I stop syncing with my server if i can remove it?
no, as I've said twice already, if you're using exchange activesync then this policy is enforced.
It's not user choice, if you're syncing your device with your employers equpment it's their data, they're legally entitled to protect it. If you're syncing with a third party server then the device will do as its told... the server is considered authorative - the same is true of Blackberry.
If you can find a way to alter the policy the checksum of your settings will differ to that stored on exchange, when the device next syncs it will see the change in policy and enforce the correct settings, turning the security back on.
Seriously guys, if you want exchange activesync then live with the policy , if you don't then disable the server connection.
remove the activesync service then yes you should be able to edit again to disable.
of course the thing mentioned above is not a solution...
i'm hal-way there and spoke with the rom makers to find a complete solution...this one is just temparary...

I have been using a registry hack everyday to prevent my WM5 device from locking itself every 30 minutes. At around 7:00pm the company I work for forces a policy to my device using push email. At that time I open a registry editor and modify \hklm\security\policies\policies\00001023 from 0 to 1. That prevents the unit from asking for a password for 24 hours.

I've decided I'm not going to be able to help on this one. It's your company's choice to enforce that security policy and not mine to help you get around it. I'm not being rude, I'm just not able to put time into research to do that at this moment.
Good luck.
Ok this may sound really dumb but I was messing with my MDA last night and set up Exchange Activesync to sync with my work email.
Apparently the email admins (not known to me) enabled the device password policy. After I deleted my exchange activesync settings, the password setting is still there!
Yes, I already tried going into the "lock/password" setting option in the control panel but since the security feature was enabled through the Exchange policy, those options to remove them are grayed out!
Does anyone know of a way to remove this? I'm assuming there MUST be some registry settings I can edit??
I tried playing around with the registry but I'm not that familar with WM 5 registry so I didn't want to mess it up further.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Device Reset? That's what I did with my MotoQ. I think it is a registry setting though.
I was not able to find info anywhere on MS site how to reverse the darn thing. Even when I removed the policy from the Exchange system testing security settings, it would still prompt for the password.
Let us know.
I have the exact same problem. My device now locks after 1 minute, extremely annoying.
Does anybody have an answer to this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Well... what about talking to the exchange admin and find out the password?
I think you should ask to your exchange admin to remove security policies for your account and resync it !
Have you ever considered WHY there is a password policy enforced?
Maybe to secure the device when left unattended?
And there MUST be a policy enforced to enable a pushed remote wipe, in case you lose the darn thing.
In that case a password policy is the most simple way to do this.
I'm an Exchange Admin myself, and I also enforce a password policy.
So I guess they wont help you with removing.
And even when you remove it via the registry, and you sync it again directly with the server, the policy is enforced again.
So you end up with a device you cannot sync again with your work email.
But a lock policy of 1 minute is harassing somebody, it must be a mistake.
In that case you should contact the exchange admins.
It turned out to be a misclick by myself during the setup. Because I changed the password of my exchange account, I was asked if I wanted a password on my mobile device (according to the exchange admin). Unfortunately I clicked 'yes' en 'next' to fast, leaving me with a device that locked after a minute. Problem was 'solved' by a hard reset.
I suffer from this a whole day even after asking my Exchange admin to turn of that security policy on the server.
Finally I reach a clean solution:
go HKLM\controlpanel\password
turn Dword:HintCounter from 0 to 1
going back to setting-password, now the grayed options return to black.

sadly enough, this doen't work for me...
i also got the pushed policy from the microsoft exchange server so i NEED TO HAVE the $%^&$ password, onterwise when i'm configuring the pushmail it won't accept.
if it was just entering the password it would be okay but it seems that when i use the ''password lock fuction'' and push it on stand-by and back on again the today screen quickly show's to turn black again and sort of reload the page (this hapens in about one second).
and when i don't use the ''password lock fuction'' this doen't happen, so it's clearly the ''lock fuction'' that's causing it.
now how can I disable the password?? i know that normaly you can do this by disabeling this in the menu, but it's turned gray cause of the pushed policy i gues...
and i got the wake-up problem too, but that's also solved when the password is removed... :S
for the rest i can only say, REALY GOOD WORK, and that count's for al,most everything here, i'm really satisfied with my wm6 busniess edition, it rock's!!accept for the thing mentioned above...who can help me out??is there another register tweak to disable the lock?? thanks in advandce and excuse me for my bad english

i think you kinda need to describe how you would log in from a desktop pc for people to understand your problem as some just require a WEP/WPA key and off you go
kkayyyzz...
when connecting to the internet on a laptop, a log-in box pops up, for u to write in your username and password from the college,
i would write somethin like MidKent/roham n then input a password on a laptop.. but no pass box to pop up on a pda?..

Version 4 works fine on the Universal.
He might be talking about a domain login. How you login depends on certain variables and we need slighly more details.
I would download HTC Network program and start from there. WM6.1 Allows Domain logins as well.
Okay, my HD2 yesterday forgot my unlock passcode, I have not installed any version of sype, and running 1.66 WWE stock Rom. My Exchange Server security policies forces a passcode.
What i have found (tested) is that an option in BsB Tweaks is causing the problem.
The option that is causing this (or at least for me) is 'Owner Information - show or hide owner in settings'
When enabled, with the show notes, your Owner information and notes are displayed when you wake the phone (before slide to unlock) I wanted this option because it gives you a slightly better chance of recovering your phone if it gets lost.
It works well initially, then for some reason it fails to show, restart the phone and BANG, your passcode wont work!! I have experimented this and it happens every time.
Thought I'd let you all know my findings, and hopefully this bug can be ironed out.
regards
Paul
I've tested it some more today, and I'm pretty sure that it is the Owner info. Going to leave it off now, but would definitely want this feature fixed As i said before it does give me a slightly better chance in getting it back if it gets lost!
Have you tried using the Recovery Password from the Outlook Web Access for your exchange server?
It's not the Exchange password that gets forgotten, it the unlock code for the phone!!! You just cant unlock the phone, hard re-set is the only option!!
Its a know problem for some people that install sype! Same thing your passcode just will not work

You can use the EMC, the Shell, or Microsoft Office Outlook Web App to recover a device password.
You can require a device password through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync policies. A user can configure a device password even if your Exchange ActiveSync policies don't require one. If users forget their password, you can obtain a recovery password using the EMC or the Shell. The recovery password unlocks the device and lets the user create a new password. Users can also recover their device passwords by using Outlook Web App.

Hello, I'm XDA News Writer mustangtim49 and I made the horrible mistake of installing windows8 on my little emachines mini lappie. I lost my normal home wifi and now I can't access my computer, every time I input my password, my computer says "your computer is offline, try the last password entered on this computer" I'm ready to throw it away, but do to a bad break up, this is all I have and it's really affecting my ability to do my job here at XDA. Thank you for reading this and any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You can reset the admin password using various available tools. I haven't tried it with Win8, but below are instructions for Win7. It shouldn't be different. Worse comes to worst, just reformat it and re-install, since it's a new install anyway.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/reset-password-windows-7.htm
For more resources (beware of spam): http://google.com/search?q="windows+7"+password+reset
There were also some reports from the CP version of password length needing to be between 8-16 chars, else an "incorrect password" error occurs.
http://www.technize.net/windows-8-maximum-password-length-limitations/
It's not a new install, I've been running it since it became available. Also, I read the links you provided, thank you, they require a disc to be burned, my mini has no disc drive.

Let me get this straight... is it your windows password or your home wifi password you can't get to work. You said you lost your home wifi. That has nothing to do with your windows password except it trys to check the microsoft account 1st then it uses the local. If there is something wrong with the local, take it somewhere that has free internet like dunkin donuts does in states and try logging in. Then switch to a local account.
I am tethering my phone as wifi and I still can't get past the password. It's the stupid w8 password screen when you first start the computer. Is says offline after I put in my password and will not let me in.
[email protected]
Being offline has nothing to do with the Win8 local password to login. I've been working with Win8 R&D for the past year and have yet to see an error like that.
Is it the WiFi password that is not being accepted?
Colphonix. I agree. Seems like the WiFi password.
Sent from my PI39100 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Also, if you switched to a Microsoft account to login, the password for that account is the one you need to login, not the one you created for the local account.
I hope that helps
