  1. I don't require a password to login but Windows 10 is saying incorrect password


    When I boot my computer I don't have a password, I simply click "sign in" to start windows.

    Suddenly, it now tells me "The password is incorrect. Try again" when I try to sign in.


    Considering there's no password, it's not as if I changed it and forgot, or typed it wrong, there isn't even a box to enter a password in or a reset password link. It's always just been the sign in button.


    I've tried both online and offline, the issue persists.

    :)

    win10 login screen saying "welcome" then saying " incorrect password"

    hi, my girlfriends computer recently locked her out, we where ****ing around with trying to delete the windows.old folder after a recent update(wouldn't let us because of missing ownership) so she logged out and when she wanted to login again then it would say "welcome" for around 10-15sec and then say " incorrect password" and now we are stuck at this not knowing what todo. we've tryed to boot it into safe mode, but that requires a password today, the recovery, go back to previus state, opening cmd, basicly every option requires a login(wich again is not possibel) so anyone who have any suggestions?

  3. Password issue

    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???
