Has a user who said he setup one note with outlook and after he set it up, the windows login password was changed to the one note password he used. When he want to change the window login password back to the original password, it gives error

And you are sure he is on win7? We are not by chance talking about win8.x or win10 where we have a OneNote app built-in?

The error message supports my assumption: this is not windows 7 (right??) but instead windows 8.x or 10 and you are dealing with a microsoft account that got setup in order to use an app (One Note App).

Yes, should be as what you had assumed
Ok, and is it ten or eight?
For eight: Charm Bar > Change PC Settings > Accounts > Disconnect Microsoft Account
For 10: open settings, click on "Accounts", then on “Sign in with a local account instead”

It's a Windows 10 machine

oNEnOTE WORKS WITH THE MICROSOFT ACCOUNT SO HE HAS CHANGED THE mICROSOFT PASSWORD TO MATCH HIS FORMER LOCAL PASSWORD (oops, Caps Lock ;-).
That's only normal and expected and if he feels alright with this situation, why not. if he wants to return to his former status, he'd need to follow my advice.
