Windows 10: How can I get into my account when microsoft won't let me request a new password?

I requested a code to change my password. It took over 3 hours to arrive. In the meantime microsoft wouldn't let me request a new code and said I'd made the request too many times which was once previously. I need to do work urgently, but microsoft is blocking me and costing me money.

Trying to switch to Microsoft account from local, unable to...

I tried that, more than once. I go thru the complete procedure of getting a new Microsoft account password, then when I reach the final step to key in the Windows password, I try my NEW Microsoft account password, and I get the same message-invalid password. No luck. Any other suggestions.

 

New microsoft account password is not working in windows 10

Hello Abeer,

We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

From the description, I suspect the problem seem to be temporary. Suggest you to try changing the password again to see if it makes any difference.

To change your Microsoft account password:

• Sign in to your Microsoft account, then select
  Security & privacy.
• Select Change password.
• Enter your current password, then the new password you want, then enter the new password again.
• Select Save.
