On Windows 11, you can change the password of a local account using PowerShell commands in addition to using Command Prompt and Control Panel. Usually, it’s no longer recommended to change the password if it hasn’t been compromised since it could lead to many other problems. However, if the password of your Windows 11 account has been compromised, or you realized it’s easy to guess, you can change it using PowerShell.
