Windows 10: Incorrect password in Windows Recovery Environment

Hello! Today, I faced a problem with my laptop. I was trying to clean my disk using a cleaning program, but it deleted all the files. After that, I turned off my laptop, and when I turned it back on, there was a blue screen, and the Windows Recovery Environment opened. When I try to recover it, reset it, or open the command line, it asks for my account password. I enter it, and I am 100% sure it's correct because I changed it previously and even checked it through my phone. However, it just says "incorrect password," and I am unable to do anything. I need to log in to my computer and even eras

Windows Recovery Environment Does Not Accept Passwords

When accessing a tool like Command Prompt or System Restore in Windows Recovery Environment, I click my user name, type in my password, and then an error message says "The password is incorrect". This is because I sign into my PC using my Microsoft Account,
which Windows Recovery Environment does not accept passwords at all even my Microsoft Account password is correct. Has this change happened on Windows 10 version 1903?

 

Windows Recovery Environment password

When booting to to the WinRE Advanced Startup from the installed Windows it requires you to choose an account that is an administrator, then supply its password even when the password is blank. For a blank password is should accept just clicking on Continue. This behaviour only occurs if you are booting from the WinRE of the installed system, as it requires you to sign into the system before proceeding. No account or password is required when booting from a Recovery USB.







That is normal, and it should accept your blank password, but I did have one system on my test machine where it refused to accept any correct password...

...unfortunately I could not find out why or how to fix it, so I rebuilt the system.

It's not an 'assertion', it's a fact. Brink says so in his tutorial...

...and so does Microsoft.
