  1. Password problem with MS - efforts to get a new password have failed


    Hello,
    I have Windows 10 up to date. My PC is a bitzer - built for me by a friend. Works wonderfully.

    I wanted to get the Microsoft App to play Mahjong, free of adverts. Forgot my password. I have entered old passwords, filled in their questions - request - the lot, even used a second email address as requested. I was sent a code...got no where. Sent another code - same thing.
    When I figured our what I was supposed to do, the reply was "sounds like a school". So, I am an 80 year old, not a school kid tampering with someone's computer. I just want a Password so I can log on and get the Marjong App from the store.

    "Answer the questions as best you can"...they say... I did that.

    I'd like to converse with a human, but...I have to get a password to do that. Crunch time!

    Thanks to anyone with advice.

    :)

  2. Password issue

    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???

    You can reset your password following the next steps:

    • Reboot your computer / Turn your computer on.
    • Hold down the Shift key at the start of the boot process to enable the GNU GRUB boot menu (if it does not show)
    • Press ESC at the GNU GRUB prompt.
    • Press e for edit.
    • Use the Arrow keys to highlight the line that begins with kernel and press the e key.
    • Go to the very end of the line and add rw init=/bin/bash
    • Press Enter and then press b to boot your system.
    • Your system will boot up to a passwordless root shell.
