Windows 10: How to reset Microsoft Password?

Hello all,

I went to the pictures passcode way to get in on Microsoft 10, but now there are other passcodes I am not remembering and they are asking for my Microsoft password. So now I have forgotten my Microsoft password because I used the picture code for so long. Does anyone know an easy way to get my password since really I have authorization to get into Microsoft except it is the picture way not the password way. I would think this would be easy. It now does not seem so easy. Thank you for any advice.




***Modified title from: I forgot my microsoft 10 password but have picture code.***

Microsoft Account Password Reset

Thanks for the reply, but it does not help me. The website does not proceed past step 4. After entering the security code, the website does not proceed to step 5. It does not give an error message, it simply greys out the next and cancel buttons and hangs
indefinitely.

Reset your password

If you can't remember your password, follow these steps to get into your account.

• Go to the Reset your password page.
• Choose the reason you need your password reset, then click Next.
  
• Enter the email address you used when you made your Microsoft account. This could be any email address, or an email ending in a Microsoft domain like hotmail.com or outlook.com.
  
• Enter the characters you see on the screen (this lets us know you’re not a robot), then click Next.
  
• If you've added security info to your account, we'll send a one-time code to the alternate phone number or email address you gave us. After you enter that code on the next screen, you'll be able to make a new password.

I'll try your "Get account help by email" suggestion and post the solution here when I've found one.
