    Reset win10 pc but password not recognised

    Performed the reset keeping files option, due to constant crashing. It appeared to go smoothly and now have the login screen requesting a password.

    Before the reset I was using a pin code which I think was associated with windows live login but neither this or the windows live password are recognised. The password for windows live is ok on other devices, such as the tablet I am using now, and I can
    see that the pc is a listed device.

    I changed the wl password but it's still not recognised on the reset pc.

    No other passwords that I am likely to have used are recognised either.

    There is only the one account on the pc.

    I don't know what to do now. Can anyone advise please?

    • 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. ...
      • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.

    I can not reset my google password

    Two step works for me if your phone info is the same as it was you should be able to recover it.
