I learned some when installing OS on my new computer
https://www.ghacks.net/2021/10/01/how-t ... r-account/

so all windows computers have an hidden Administrator account that need no password.

And described how to activate it and set a pwd so nobody can use it that way.

And learned on this link a useful command
https://www.elevenforum.com/t/change-na ... s-11.2133/

a command
"wmic useraccount get name,SID" and it lists even more accounts on your computer.

End hacker lesson

So the TL;DR version is 'there's a disabled Admin account, which can only be enabled by an admin account, so enable it so that noone with an admin account can enable it and use it to do stuff that only someone with an admin account can do' ?

Yeah, just imagine entering the password separately for all of these:

Yes,you do give Avid your computer password,its part of the Licence agreement. Have a look at the video that @chk071 linked to at 1:38
You're giving the instance of the Avid Link application that you've installed on your machine the password, not Avid the company. Have a look at the video that he linked to, at 1:21

It’s ambiguous,but so what? in all the years I have used windows computers I have never been asked for my computer password. If you feel comfortable with that, then go ahead, but for me,it’s a no.

There's a first time for everything, hehe... I think in this case it makes sense. Unless you prefer to enter the password for every separate installer of all the bundled products (there's a lot of them). I think they're just being practical and I appreciate that.

I wonder if this is related to them being sold to private equity

I wonder if this is supposed to be a joke.

Why? I'm genuinely asking
