Cortana asks for old password

Original Title: Cortana

Cortana on my PC asks for email or phone number and then asks for password. Which password.....my computer starting password or my email password or a new one just for Cortana? In the Next step Cortana asks for the old password one more time, but entering
different ones do not work and entering none of them does not work either. Other people use this computer in my family so I once ended up with only my email address and email password able to start my computer .Is Cortana ever available and ,if so, to just
one, or all of the family?

If it still does not help, I suggest you to make sure that you have changed your location/region and language of the PC to the ones supported for Cortana.
