  1. How long does it take for Windows to register a Microsoft password change?


    I've been having issues with starting up my computer recently so I wanted to boot it into safe mode to begin startup repair, but I had to log in to my Microsoft account in order to do so. I forgot my password, logged back in like normal not in safe mode, changed my password, and then booted safe mode back up. Problem is, it keeps telling me the password is incorrect when I try signing in on safe mode. I've checked the Microsoft website repeatedly to confirm my password was updated today, which it was. I'm able to log in on the browser using the new password. But every time I try using it in

    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.
