Windows 10: I know my Microsoft email password, but I can do not remember my windows login which is...

I was trying to add a separate account to my computer and ended up changing my admin account. When I tried to re-login to my original account It asked me for my Windows password NOT MY MICROSOFT password: THEY ARE DEFINITELY DIFFERENT. I have been using my PIN code to log in and forgot my original login password. I have tried for weeks to find a way to log in or try to change the password. Nothing is working. I called Microsoft and to no avail. I tried Google to no avail. The only information I am getting is how to reset my MICROSOFT password. Can someone help me please.

Email clients not remembering passwords

Hi all

A friends computer will not remember his gmail password. He used to use outlook, and seeing that I use thunderbird and it would be easier to troubleshoot I installed that for him. Now that was working for a few weeks, and now the same problem is occuring.

We are 100% sure the password is correct, as we can access the email account through webmail, but the local clients will not remember the correct password. Of course the 'Remember password' button is checked, but still no good.

It returns with incorrect password.

Any suggestions?

 

Cannot remember password and PIN to login

Hi,

As per the query, I would like to inform that you require to create a password prior to the creation of the PIN. If you remember the password, click on the sign-in options under the password box in the login screen.

If you forgot your Microsoft account password,
follow these steps.

If you don’t have a Microsoft account and forgot your local account password,
you can’t recover it. Instead, you’ll need to reset your PC.

Warning: Following these steps will remove all of your data, programs, and settings.

• Start your PC and select the Power icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the lock screen.
• While holding down the Shift key, select Restart.
• On the Boot options menu, select Troubleshoot > Reset this PC > Remove everything.
• Your PC will restart and will reset itself.

Hope this helps.

Regards
