I am trying to check my password list under the Control Panel - Web credentials - it is asking for my Windows password - which I do not have (I set up Windows 10 to log in automatically)
How do I get round this ?
I have tried my Hotmail password - which I have used in the past to log in and that fails !!

    IIRC, you must have set a password then configured auto-login using that password!

    If you go into User Accounts from Control Panel, it'll say if the account is password protected

    Thanks - tried that (my hotmail account) and that fails to give me access to my password list under credentials !!

    Have you tried simply leaving the password blank and hitting enter / return?
