When we install or reinstall Windows 10 , the system will create an administrator user by default, which Microsoft will recommend using an online Microsoft account (Hotmail or Outlook). This allows everything we do with this account to be synchronized on all the devices where we are logged in, but it also gives us the option to use a local account instead. This account has too many restrictions regarding the use of the system since it is not possible, for example, to install applications or perform administrative tasks..
Windows 10 has implemented the Configuration utility in order to globally manage numerous aspects of the system and with respect to local accounts, it allows creating a local user account as such, but not changing or deleting the password for this type of account. see in the route: "Start - Configuration - Accounts - Family and other users":
But not everything is bad or impossible to do, we still have the Control Panel to carry out the task of modifying the password for local accounts and TechnoWikis will explain how to change the password for local accounts effectively.
