Windows 10: Can I get my old password for my Microsoft account?

Hi all.I was using my Windows 10 laptop like I usually would, and I found it was being a glitchy mess. I restarted it, and then I was greeted with the Dell message that my laptop couldn’t start. I had some repair options, and I managed to get through the Bitlocker portion, but then it asked for my Microsoft user account password. I didn’t know it and I couldn’t find it written down anywhere, so I decided to reset it. Unfortunately, the computer keeps saying the new password is still wrong, so I guess it just can’t access the internet and is relying on the password stored in the hard drive.Is t

App store and Microsoft account

Thank you for the advice

I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

 

Lost password on an Old Account, any way to merge accounts?

1) I hope I haven't broken the rules
2) I created a new account because I couldn't remember the password to the old one
3) Not sure. I like the 2005 reg date in a vanity sense and I was doing some lookup stuff with that account to trouble shoot my friend's pc (friend bought my old opteron / 7800GT rig) back in 2009.

Okay its probably hopeless then. *Frown .

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