  1. Can't log into local windows account, and doesn't give me option for microsoft account either.


    I turned on my computer today, and it says that due to "security changes" I can no longer use my old pin, it doesn't give me a pin reset option, and says that all my passwords are incorrect as well. This is on a local account however it doesn't even give me an option to sign in with my microsoft account, how do I log back in and use my computer.

    :)

    register PC with microsoft; use local account to log in

    Just simply log in with your Microsoft Account.
    Switch to Microsoft Account in Windows 10

    Just go back to using a local account:
    Switch to Local Account in Windows 10

    Hopefully the tutorials are step by step enough.

    Can't log into local windows account, and doesn't give me option for microsoft account either.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:
