Unable to log into laptop after changing password.

Hi Marty,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand how difficult it could be and we appreciate the time and effort that you have taken to work this issue. However, in order to get clarity, we would need some more information regarding the issue.

1. Were you using the “Old email (account) address” regardless of not using laptop?
   
2. Are both the email addresses linked?
   
3. Could you please let us know, where exactly you get prompt for the password for the “Old email address” in the desktop?
   
4. What is the exact error message you get when you try to log in to laptop?
   
5. Does your desktop has two user profiles?
   

In the meantime, we would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and check.



You would need to have internet connection in laptop, so that the password change could get updated and it seems that the laptop is not connected to the internet, we would suggest you to connect Ethernet cable to laptop and then
try logging in to the laptop with the new password for the old email address.





We await your response.

 

Unable to log into laptop after changing password.

1. Yes, I was using the old email address, regardless of using the old laptop
   
2. Yes, both emails are linked since I did not want to miss any emails that were going to my old email address and the sender was still using my old email address and was unaware o my new email address.
   
3. When I open up my laptop, the prompt comes up to put in my password. It is asking for the password for my old email account (That is the email address that is displayed on my laptop along with my name).
   
4. The error message that comes up is "That password is incorrect. Make sure you're using the password for your Microsoft account. You can always reset it at account.live.com/password/reset.
   
5. Yes, my desktop has two user profiles.
   

When I log into the account.live.com to change my password for the old email address, it allows me to change the old email address, but then you keep seeing the new email address come up as well.

I have tried to merge the two email addresses, but it seems that I am unable to do so.

 

Change password required every time I log in

Hi,

my laptop asks me to change my user password every time i startup my laptop. When it gets to the username password screen, i type my password then it gives a message..

1. "The user's password must be changed before signing in"
2. It pops up the new password and confirm password box
3. then i can enter the same or new password
4. It says changing password, then your password has been updated.
5. it then logs me on.

However, i have to go through this process every time i start.

The 5 steps in your message do not work as when i get to the advanced tab it says this option is not available and to go to control panel and change user passwords there. In control panel, settings, accounts,
sign in options i have changed the Require sign-in to Never but it still asks me next time i shutdown and turn on.
