Windows 10: Forgot my Windows Security login info

Whenever I try to access my VPN that's in the Wifi menu on the taskbar, a window pops up, asking me to enter my username or password (a label in the top left corner says Windows Security), both of which, hence the title, I FORGOT. I tried entering my PC username (the one I use for this PC, which is called LazyReaper) and as for the password, I don't KNOW my password, because I use a numerical code to login to my PC. Tried my Microsoft account login info, failed. Tried turning off the ask-you-to-login setting in the Users page on Control Panel, still there. Constructive help required.

And since I've tried both my PC account, and my Microsoft account..

WHICH ACCOUNT DO I LOGIN WITH!?!?

Forgot my Windows Security login info

I use Windscribe VPN, and I tried using my account that I use for Windscribe, but that one failed too (yes, I previously came to the same conclusion as you, but Windscribe doesn't put my credentials in the credential manager.) Also, I don't know if the
Windows Security window is the VPN asking me for login info.

 

How to change password for login without verifying security info?.

Hi Samuwella,

Sorry for the loss, not to worry we will try our best to assist you with the issue you are facing with Windows 10 account security.

Lets follow the below steps to fix the issue with Windows 10.

1. We Suggest you to refer to the below article on "Get back into your Microsoft account if it's been compromised".
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10494/microsoft-account-get-back-compromised-account

2. Also refer to the below article on "How do I replace my security info"?
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10634/microsoft-account-replace-all-security-info

3. Two-step verification helps protect you by making it more difficult for someone else to sign in to your Microsoft account. It uses two different forms of identity: your password, and a contact method (also known as security
info). Even if someone else finds your password, they'll be stopped if they don't have access to your security info.
