Windows 10: Is there a way to see the passwords used by hackers that unsuccessfully try to access my MS...

I know how/where to examine the log-in activity for my Microsoft account. The list shows each unsuccessful attempt to access my account due to “incorrect password” having been entered. What I want to know is what exactly did the hacker enter for each of those failed attempts.Microsoft always recommends changing the password when unauthorized access is attempted. That never made sense to me, because the hackers obviously have not been able enter the correct password, so why would anyone change a password that is clearly working effectively.

User accounts in VB2005 from MS Access

Access has a list of words not to use as column names, but if you must, you'll need to use brackets in your sql statement. I'm unsure of the list of words, but the line of code appears valid. Try using this:

Dim sqlString As String = "INSERT INTO USERS ([USERNAME], [PASSWORD]) VALUES ('" & usernameString & "', '" & passwordString & "')"

Perhaps its password that's causing the issue.

You could also try renaming the columns within the access database. I ran into this issue when I used the word time as a column name.

 

Is there a way to retrieve a PREVIOUS MS account password?

I'm coping with an older BitLocked Win 10, Lenovo Thinkpad. I have the recovery key, and all was going well until I got to the step asking for the MS account password. The password was changed a while ago while this computer was locked. So this computer is looking for the previous MS account pw, which is stored somewhere on it (obviously a locked computer isn't on the internet). I'm in a Catch 22 situation where I can't find the PREVIOUS MS account password because the computer is locked, and I can't unlock the computer because I need the pw! Is there a way to access the PREVIOUS MS account password somehow? Online searches have turned up nothing useful. Very grateful for any insight. Note: I'm not asking how to find the BitLocker Recovery key --I'm past that stage.
