Standard User Account Password Problem

[rd2rk]

I'm running 8.1 on a laptop and a desktop. I have admin accounts setup on both, associated with my primary windows/live/outlook/ whatever-they're-calling-it this week account. I've set up Standard User Accounts on each machine associated with an alias. I can log-in to outlook from either account with the same password, but I can't log-in to either machine using the Standard User Account with that password. Any help getting this setup working would be appreciated. Thanks.

Go to Control Panel and click User account. From there, you will able to reset the password and try to create a different text.

Been there, done that. No happiness. Thanks anyhow.

Have you tried to disable the built-admin account? Usually it denies access to standard uses.
follow this tutorial to do so:

If it doesn't work, there's something wrong with the registry files.

Tried that. No good. I doubt that there's something wrong with the registry files on BOTH machines.

I got an email from this forum saying "Great news! That Geekloner's answer was selected as the solution for your question "Standard User Account Password Problem".

Geekloner's answer was, as I noted, NOT the solution, either one. This problem is ongoing, and this is only one of three forums (including the official MS W8 forum) where no one seems to have an answer.

So, who decided that the wrong answer constitutes a solution?
