forgot then changed Microsoft account password

Hi,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Try disconnecting the cable from the Internet:

• • If there is a Wi-Fi icon on the sign-in screen, click it and go to Airplane mode.
    
  • If there is a wired connection, disconnect the wire.
  • If sign-in is successful, let us know in the comments!
  • Also, we can then change to a local account, restart, and re-connect to the MSA.
    
  • If this works, please let us know!

2. Try sign-in on another device (phone or PC) via the
https://account.microsoft.com
page.

• If the sign-in is unsuccessful, stop and handle it like any other password issue.
  
• If sign-in is successful there, don’t try resetting/changing the password, continue to the next step.

3. Try using the On-Screen Keyboard to sign in on the PC.

4. If that fails, make sure the PC is connected to the Internet (the connection icon should be visible in the lower right).

Thank you.

 

What to do if Outlook or OneDrive Android apps won't let you sign in

If you're having problems signing in to some Microsoft apps like Outlook or OneDrive on Android simply follow this guide. It worked for me when the web-based password screen kept crashing on each of these apps.

First, reset the Office account on your device:

1. Ensure no Microsoft accounts are stored on your device. (Office, Outlook, OneDrive or MS Exchange)
2. Back-up any Office documents to an SD card or PC. They should be safe but it's always best to take precautions.
3. Re-install all of your Microsoft apps, this will force them to do a first time set-up. (If they're factory installed then uninstall updates and clear data for each app then update them again.)

Once you've done that open Word and log in to it using the Microsoft account you are trying to add. This will save your email and password as a new "Office" account on your device. (The web-based sign-in screen shouldn't crash on Word as long as it asks
you for an email first. It may also work on Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote etc. but I only tried it on Word.)
If you don't have Word then just download it from the Play Store for free then uninstall it afterwards if you don't need it.

To add the account to Outlook:

1. Open Outlook and go to the Add Account page.
2. Outlook will search your device for accounts. Select the account you want to add and tap "Add Account"

To add the account to OneDrive:

1. Open OneDrive
2. Enter your email and tap "Done" or the "next" arrow.

If done correctly, Outlook and OneDrive will bypass the password screen by taking the password directly from the stored Office account.

To add multiple accounts simply follow the steps above then sign out of Word and then sign back in again with your other account and follow the steps for the relevant app again. Repeat this for each account you want
to add. (Only one personal account can be added to OneDrive but you should still be able to add a business account with this method. I don't have one to test it with.)

To add the account to To-Do (only one account can be connected):

1. Add the account to Outlook or OneDrive.
2. Re-install To-Do if you haven't done so already.
3. Open it and select your account. It will automatically find your password and sign in.

Once you've added all your accounts remember to go back to Word and sign back in to your preferred Office/OneDrive account. Do the same for other Office apps too if you need to. (You'll definitely have to do this if you have
a paid Office subscription.)

Unfortunately this method will not work for the Edge app, even if you try to enter your email manually. If you have added the account to Office, Outlook or OneDrive you will still be able to store favourites
and history on your device but you cannot sync with other devices without password verification. If anyone can find a work-around or fix for this then please post it below.
