How to find my Password for Credential Manager in Windows 10 Control Pane
I have a Dell Inspiron 5551 with Windows 10
I did not set it up
I wanted to view passwords saved by Internet Explorer in Control Panel/Credentials Manager
I do not have the personal system password that will allow me to view each of the individual passwords stored
Please, how do I fid this password. It won't accept any of the obvious things - eg blank
Any deas welcome

To view saved passwords in Credentials Manager, you need to remember your Windows login password. If you forgot it, then how can you log in to windows and access control panel?

Thanks everyone
As I said I didn't establish a Windows Password on my machine - i.e not needed to logon
The control Panel showed I didn't have a password so I set one up.
Now I can view everything previously hidden on Credential Manager
Case solved
