Hello Friends,
If you are tired of people changing passwords of your Windows and you have to ask them everytime for password. This happens because any user who is member of
Administrators can change password of any other user. If you want to make your password unchangable, even if anyone knows it, then you are at right place.
Here I am going to explain, how to disable changing of password.
This includes two processes:
Process1: Disable password change.
Step1- Right click on
My Computer and select
Manage
Step2- In Left pane, first double click on
Local Users and Groups and then click
Users
Step3- Now Right click on the
User whose password you want to make unchangable and click on
Properties.
Step4- In properties window, check on
User Cannot Change the Password and click on
Apply and then click
OK and close
Manage window.
Even after doing this, other users can change your password using Manage utility. So now we will disable Manage utility.
Process2: Disable Manage utility. After disabling this Manage option will not appear when you right click on My Computer.
Step1- Goto
Start menu, click on
Run, alternatively you can press "
Windows + R", type
regedit and press
Enter.
Step2- In
Registry Editor follow this path-
HKEYCURRENTUSER ->SOFTWARE ->Microsoft ->Windows ->CurrentVersion ->Policies ->Explorer and double-click on
NoManageMyComputerVerb. If you don't see this option, Right click on Right pane and
Create New DWORD, and name it
NoManageMyComputerVerb then Double-click on it or Right click on it and choose
Modify.
Step3- Set value to
1 (Hexadecimal) and click
OK
Step4- Restart your computer. Now you won't see
Manage option when you Right-click on
My Computer and user cannot change password using
Manage utility.
If you want to undo this, just follow same path in
Registry Editor and set the value of
NoManageMyComputerVerb to 0
"Zero" (Hexadecimal) and restart your computer.
Enjoy! Now nobody can change your password.
