  3. "incorrect password" message at startup on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I would appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down the issue.


          • What is the make and model of the computer?

          • Did you install any finger print reader?
    I suggest you to place the computer in Safe Mode with networking and check if the issue persists.

    Windows Startup Settings (including safe mode)

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-safe-mode

    Note: Steps for Windows 8 or 8.1 applies to Windows 10.

    Note: Wireless internet connection may not work in Safe Mode.

    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.

  4. Incorrect password on startup

    Windows Startup password

    Is it possible to remove a startup password without being able to log into the system? A friend's laptop just prompt her today for a password that she never enabled. Now, she does have a standard user account password, but that doesn't work for the startup password. She had the computer for about a year now and it has never asked for a startup password until today.

    I tried to use Hiren Boot CD to run a diagnostic on the laptop, but it has a bsod. Windows 10 normal boot crashes as well
