    Cant sign into my old windows 8 laptop "That password is incorrect. Make sure you're using...


    I know my password is correct, I'm in the account on my main pc, I'm sending this from the account! and have reset the password 2-3 times just in case still nothing. I'm trying to get into my old laptop to see if I have anything on it I want to keep, anyone else gone or going through this and have a fix or certain solution I've been trying for a day or so now. I would really like a solution where I can get on it with everything still there. Yes im on the internet, I've made sure that the keyboard layout is the right one. I've updated to the latest update.The laptop is a Fujitsu LifeBook AH512

    :)

  2. Can't sign in with CORRECT password on old Laptop.

    Unfortunately, it looks like yiu will have to reinstall Windows.

    and we don't work for Microsoft.

    all we can do is give you what they say:

    "What to do if you forget your Windows 8/8.1 password"

    Change or reset your password - Microsoft Support

    If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
    • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more info, go to the Reset your password webpage.
    • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
    If you've tried these suggestions and still can't sign in:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you'll need to reinstall Windows.
    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you'll need to contact your PC manufacturer.

    Laptop is telling me the password is incorrect despite it being correct

    Changing your Password does not always work.
