  1. MS Pwd not being retained


    According to the suggestions on your community help page that to correct the MS Acct I have to perform a number of major steps to get this pwd to stay recognized. I think not, MS needs to get its program operational so that the end user doesn't have to spend valuable time trying to correct a problem created by their inability to produce a quality product. About a month ago I purchased a number of items because I was told that MS was no longer going to support the items I did have. That is a chunk of change! Because it is a chunk of change I expect their product to work without an hitches. Now if there is a hitch I expect THEM to fix it. NOT ME! I am not spending the rest of my day trying to repair a problem caused by their inability to write a decent program.

    :)

    Windows 10 Admin pwd

    Hi,

    My windows 10 pwd was set up by Dell. It automatically logs into windows without asking for pwd. I did set it up to blank password at the setup and requested to windows 10 to never ask for pwd..

    Now it is starting asking for pwd and when I do blank pwd and hit 'enter' is telling me wrong pwd..???

    so I reboot and everything is fine..

    can someone who knows and understand this OS wold guide me to enter a pwd or to remove the asking pwd forever...

    its a laptop...with all the new updates

    thanks..

    alex

  3. Default Playback devices are not retaining their settings.

    We appreciate the information that you've provided. The next step that we recommend you to do is to disable all the sound drivers on your
    Device Manager since the sound driver has 2 components. We have to identify which sound driver works best on your device by following these steps:

    • Type in Device Manger on the Search box.
    • Click the drop-down arrow for the Audio inputs and outputs and
      Sound, video and game controllers drivers.

    • MS Pwd not being retained 33e66a89-f361-49a8-9a7e-cd5c26ea169f.png
    • Right click each drivers found on the suggested lists and select Disable.
    • Once you've disabled all the sound drivers, repeat steps 1 to
      3 but this time enable one driver at a time and check which driver will retain the desired
      Playback device settings.

    You can leave the other sound drivers disabled, once you've identified which driver works on your device.

    Let us know if you encounter any challenges along the process.

    MS Pwd not being retained

    Windows 10 login without user account and pwd or pin code

    I have Lenovo laptop and Windows 10.

    When I boot my laptop, I will get error message: "User account or password wrong. Try again"

    This message comes under my full name and user account and pwd.

    What is this user account and pwd. I haven't created any.

    Luckily there is another option where is my
    full name and pin code (but no user account).

    When I enter pin code I can login into the Windows.

    [That pin code seems to be the same code which Microsoft asked to create a couple of days ago.

    I thought that this short pin code helps me to get rid of long MS pwds, which I have many for private and company purposes.

    But I didn't understand that I have to enter that pin code every time I'm login into my laptop!]

    I have already done netplwiz -command
    from Windows-> Run, but no effect.

    I also tried from Control Panel to edit my own admin / owner account, but cannot do anything.

    I would like to login into Windows without any user account and pwd or pin code?

    What are the right steps in this situation?
