    Hello,Would anyone help me out, please? The problem is, I can't sign in Windows 11. After I had moved out my previous flat, I did not use the laptop for quiet a while, and then I realized that the password was forgotten. I have a Microsoft account, not a local one. I did reset the password for my Microsoft account, but it made no difference, as I need the Internet connection to get the new password synchronised. And I can't connect the laptop to the Internet because it's locked. When trying to sign in, I'm getting the message that I need to enter my latest password used on this laptop which I

  2. Unable to sign-in to Microsoft account forgotten password

    Hi,



    Thank you for coming back to us with details.



    Since, you have forgotten the user account password we will not able to help you related password scenarios due to security purpose. The best what I can suggest you is create a new user account and transfer all user profile data’s to the new user account.
    Once you transfer all the data’s to new user account you can convert the user account to Microsoft account and delete the old user account (If you want).
    You can also follow the below steps to transfer all your data’s to the new user account.


    • Open file explorer and double click on
      OS (CCannot sign in Windows 11 with Microsoft account, as the password was forgotten, and... :).

    • Go to Users and try transferring all the data’s/file to the new user account.
    Hope this helps. We look forward to hear from you.

  3. Unable to sign-in to Microsoft account forgotten password

    Hi,

    Thanks for the Quick response. I will eventually use the suggestions you have given. But for the present I'd like to continue logging into my PC with my PIN. My concern is more with recovering my Widows local user login password, which seems not possible.
    However I have a question to ask MS which I personally think as valid: when both a Password and a PIN are equally valid for successfully logging in to Windows local admin account why only the Password is given credence in the matter of resetting of the login
    Password or creating a password recovery disc? Will MS please respond? Thank you.
