    I seem to have two logins. How to correct? Also would like to be password free on bootup.


    I bought a refurbished laptop which came with Windows 10 Pro/64 installed. I mistakenly thought this OS would be identical to my desktop Windows 10 Pro/64, several years old but always updated. Anyway, the latest problem is that when I start windows I get two logins. One is apparently my MS account and the other may be my windows ID.I would like to just have windows open without any pw etcMany thanks for suggestions.Jack

    :)

    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    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid.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???

    How do you opt out of the W8.1 password login?

    I just set up a laptop for a friend by DLing ALL the W8 updates, and then installing the 8.1 free update, but it makes you choose a password login. In searching I've found a way to turn that off by unchecking the password option in the user account settings, and it now bypasses it on restart and initial bootup, but it doesn't completely remove this annoying feature. Any time the clock/screensaver kicks in, it still asks for a password.

    Does anyone know how to completely bypass the password login option for W8.1?

    Microsoft account doesn't accept reset correct password

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand the difficulties you are facing while login to the PC using your Microsoft account.



    In this scenario, we would suggest you to perform these steps and check if you are able to sign with the correct login credential in Safe mode. Also check if you are connected the PC to the internet, preferably through Ethernet cable.

    1. At the login screen click on the power symbol.
    2. Hold SHIFT key in the keyboard and click Restart.
    3. After restarting your system, select the Troubleshoot option.
    4. Select advanced options under
      Troubleshoot       screen.
    5. Click on Startup Settings
    6. Click Restart and follow the onscreen steps to go to Safe Mode
    7. Login with the correct password using the onscreen keyboard.


    Please get back to us with the end result for further investigation.



    Regards,



    Aditya Roy
