  1. How do I reset the PC if it doesn't recognize my password


    I recently fixed my PC by redownloading 10OS. However it did an auto update, and now it's starts up and goes to a black screen where I can see the cursor but nothing else. I cannot ctrl.al.del either and whenever I get to the recovery mode it's asks me to enter the password for my Microsoft account. When I enter my password, it says the password is invalid. I've changed my password so I know it is correct. I don't know what

    :)

  3. Upgrade to windows 10. Current password doesn t work

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I will assist you with this.

    Please let us know

    • Are you logged in with a local account or Microsoft account?
    • Have you tried typing the password with On-Screen keyboard?
    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: On-Screen Keyboard

    You may use the accessibility options to pop open a on-screen keyboard and type the password from there to make sure you are typing the correct password.

    If the issue persists,

    Step 2:

    If you see your email address listed there, it must be a Microsoft account. You will be able to reset the password and log in if your PC is connected to internet.

    Refer,

    I can't sign in to my Microsoft account

    Hope this information was helpful.
