How do I modify a user account?

Purpose

You can modify all aspects of a local user account, except for the username. You can also change a user’s password or compel the user to change their password.

Steps
 

Open Users and Security.


Select Users from the drop-down list on the toolbar.


In the Users list, select the user account you want to modify.
