  1. Account sign in screwed up


    So, I got a new computer and now File Explorer doesn't show my Onedrive files. Just local files. So I tried to fix it, following directions on a forum, and I signed into a temporary local account, booted, then tried to sign in again to my Microsoft account. Now I can't sign into my Microsoft account. I'm being asked for a Windows password and I have no idea what that is, and there's no way to get it. No Forgot Password link. Do I have to erase my computer? Frustrated.

    :)

    sign into microsoft account glitch

    Hi Micheal,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    • Is this the only account on the computer?
    • Was this account upgraded from previous version of Windows?

    It looks like you are using a local account. I suggest you follow these steps:

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

    Hope this helps.

    Regards
