    Thanks AYOKANMI for the information, in this case I think the first suggestion really is the most appropriate, please try to follow the step by step to recover your password and try to access again.

    Forgotten password

    Hi,

    "What to do if you forget your Windows 8/8.1 password"

    Change or Reset Your Password in Windows - Microsoft Support

    If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
    • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more info, go to the

      Reset your password
      webpage.
    • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
    If you've tried these suggestions and still can't sign in:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you'll need to reinstall Windows.
    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you'll need to contact your PC manufacturer.
