When I look into what my admin password is on Windows 10, everything seems to point to it being linked to the Microsoft account I have connected.

But the same password I'm able to use to log into this Microsoft account with does not work when I attempt to run sudo in WSL. There is only one account on my PC.

What detail have I missed or how can I troubleshoot?
