  1. Can't sign into Microsoft account in winRE


    On boot up I'm stuck in the winRE menu and can't perform any troubleshooting actions system restore/uninstall updates/command prompt without being prompted to sign into my Microsoft account. But I can't log in as it doesn't except my password. I know my password and have verified by resetting my Microsoft account password. I have given it time between resetting my password and trying it in winRE. I've tried rebooting in between doing this and even disconnecting from my ethernet cable and reconnecting. I also tried selecting 'continue' without entering anything as the password . But no matter

    :)

    Hi Gloria,

    The error code that your are getting when adding an account is usually caused by the following:

    • Your phone has an incorrect date and time set.
    • You do not have a data connection.
    • Your phone is in a "bad state."
    We suggest that you follow the steps on this link to set up your Microsoft
    Account on your device.

    Keep us posted for further assistance.

    Regards.

    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
