I have a work laptop running windows 8 with a W7 shell because I don't like W8.

When setting up W8 it demanded a linked e-mail and I put in my password for my hotmail, now when I log into my computer, the password is whatever my hotmail password is.

I tried changing my hotmail password from home and couldn't log in to my work laptop in the morning until I used the new password.

How do I unlink this?

I have a feeling that I am going to bail on this job in the not too distant future, they will obviously need the laptop back.

If I change my password on hotmail after I leave, my employer won't be able to get into the computer.

Any ideas?

You have to unlink your microsoft live account from your windows 8 login account.

Start Screen -> PC Settings -> Accounts -> Your Account -> Disconnect

I think?

Good luck!
