    Relocated PC can't connect to internet

    No. A PW for the WiFi, then go thru the "I forgot My Password" options in Windows.

    Windows 10 "incorrect password" message, retried, same thing, reset pw as suggested, still fails. 2 months now, beyond frustrated.

    Forgot pw and can't reset to login.

    Microsoft login asking for Windows password

    I'm trying to login to my Microsoft account, have done the reset my password routine when I thought perhaps I had forgotten my password, but it turns out I had not forgotten my pw. The snag is that when I go to login, I get through to the step where it asks
    for my current Windows password. So login steps go login MS, MS password, and then Windows password. My Microsoft pw doesn't work. I have no clue what my Windows pw is and there is no option for "forgot my password."

    What's up with this? It seems ironic that I'm selecting "ease of access" as a category. How do I get past this?
