Windows 10: I'm completely locked out of my computer because it says my password is incorrect?

We had a recent power outage, and from then on my computer was acting up. I had to restart a few times trying to figure out problems with the drivers, but suddenly the next time I tried to log in, it said there was a problem with my pin, so I'd need to log in with my password. I have tried my last three old passwords, I have reset my password twice, and nothing is working. I can't boot into safe mode, can't open the cmd prompt, because it all asks me to log into the administrator profile...which I can't do. Any help would be appreciated, looking for options before having to go full wipe and

Windows 10: Issues with logging into the computer and getting incorrect password message.

Hi George,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



This issue might occur if there is Internet connectivity issue.



To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

• When you say that "my password in it says it's incorrect", are you trying to login as Microsoft Account or Local Account on the computer?
• Have you made any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

I suggest you to follow the steps below to check whether caps lock or Num lock in enabled or not while entering the password.

Also I recommend you to enter the password through On-Screen Keyboard. Check if it helps.

1. At the login page.

2. Click on Ease of Access icon which is present at the bottom right corner of the Screen.
