ok so i had a pal over and he wanted to show me an email he as received so we used the win 10 app for mail......

My pc in now LOCK to his mail, i need to used his email password ever time i log in.
microsoft give you one option to fix this.
Start > Setting > update & security > Recovery > RESET
That right there only open is a full system reset.

Do we have any idea to fix this or do i have to just go back to win 7?
 
Go back to Windows 7 :P

Slightly more helpful you might be able to revert it with minimal/no loss by using an older restore point maybe - I can't see a way to revert an account other than to switch to a (new) local account, doesn't even seem to have the "disconnect an account from a MS ID" option any more - but not really an area I'm overly familiar with.
 
Try going to:

Control Panel > User Accounts > Credential Manager.

Then select Windows credentials.

Under generic credentials select the 'MicrosoftAccount:user' and have a fiddle.
Under Other items look at SSO_POP_User and have a play.

I don't use Windows10 mail app, so there might be another entry under there, have a look :-)

Also check Web Credentials option as there are some logins on there :-)

Good luck.
