    Password rejected despite correct password

    Hi Sam,

    Thank you for posting your concern on Microsoft Answer Community.

    If you have another user account on the tablet, you may login to that account and try the below mentioned steps.

    1. Login to the other user account.
    2. Click on start menu and just type “Run”.
    3. Type netplwiz and click
      OK.
    4. Then select the user account
      you are facing the password issue.
    5. Uncheck the box beside
      “Users must enter a user name and password to use this tablet”
    6. Then restart the tablet and check if you are able to login.

    Hope it helps.

    Local Account password changed to Online Account Password

    Hi,

    I suggest you to follow the steps on how to switch from Microsoft account to Local account:

    • Click on search in taskbar and type account.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Local account instead.
    • Enter your Microsoft account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
    • Enter User name credentials for your the Local account and click OK.
    • Now, login to Local account.
    Hope it helps.

    Account Login Not Working Despite Correct Password

    Microsoft account login does not work


    For several weeks I have tried to login to my windows account, keeps telling my password is wrong, reset password, then go to second step tells me password is wrong. I keep resetting and and it says it was successful but then when I go to use it, it says it's wrong. I can't even try adding the extensions to Edge because of the password, you have to login to your account.
