    Getting "the username or password is incorrect try again" with initial login.

    Getting "the username or password is incorrect try again" with initial login.

    Dell Notebook I have been getting the error, "the username or password is incorrect try again" with initial login.
    This began when still running Windows 7. I hoped it would go away when I recently converted to Win 10 but it didn’t.
    When I restart, the Computer Management Event Viewer lists service control manager errors 7001, 7009, and 7031.
    Did web searches on these errors. Following the things suggested for 7001, I have verified that all the services listed are running.
    7009 refers to timeout errors. The 30 second default for timeout seems OK and there must be some other problem.
    So far, haven’t found anything for 7031 that seems related to the subject problem.
    Attached is a screen shot of a list of all the user accounts for the PC.
    The dates modified are all for the day I converted to Win 10 or after.
    The problem existed previously when I was running Win 7.
    Searching on the subject error msg. only gives discussions on how to eliminate the startup password requirement.
    That’s bad but may indicate the problem is somehow related to not requiring a password since I turned it off at some time before the problem occurred.
    Everyone with the problem wants to have the requirement off.

    I haven’t tried changing account names, adding an account, etc. because the PC works fine other than the message (well, it does freeze every couple weeks) I’m afraid that such changes might make it unusable.

    However, the problem now prevents me from setting up a network for win 10, so I would like to clear it up.

    I would appreciate any suggestions.

    Network share to require login

    Alright what i am trying to do is have a password, or login required to access some shared folders on a computer. All computers are using XP Pro SP2, now i have had situations in the past were i try to access a shared folder over the network on a laptop and it asks for a username and password before it will let me access it. This is what i am trying to setup. Even if i was able to assign the folder permissions for a specific user account.

    Any help?

    How to make Windows 10 require username and password while login

    Can't disable login password Win 10

    Hello,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.


    • How many user accounts have you set up on the computer?
    You might face this issue if you have entered a wrong password or selected a different user account while unchecking the option
    "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer". I would suggest you to follow these steps and check if it helps:

    • Press Windows key + R on the keyboard.
    • Type “control userpasswords2” without quotes and press
      Enter
      .
    • Click on the User account to which you login.
    • Uncheck the option "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer". If it is already unchecked, then place a check mark and then uncheck it.
    • You will be requested to enter the Username and Password. Fill in the details correctly. Type in the
      Username, Password and Confirm Password manually.
    • Click on OK and then again OK.
    • Restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
    Let us know the results and if you need further assistance and we’ll be happy to help.
