Windows 10: Issues signing into Acer laptop, multiple passwords accepted then fail.

I'm currently trying for the first time in at least a year to sign into my Acer can't remember if is was updated from Windows 10 to 11 or not, which has always been set up with a local account sign in. When I enter the correct password, I'm greeted the same way as always with "Welcome!" and a loading circle of dots. Then a few second later, it responds as though I've answered the incorrect password. Upon selecting "Okay" and attempting with the same password, I instantly receive the incorrect password message. I have two other Windows devices, a Surface Pro3 and an HP laptop, which both use

Windows 10 sign-in issue. password not accepted

Hi,

We appreciate your earnest effort to reach out with Microsoft Community. We understand that you were unable to sign in to your Windows 10 laptop due to the password issue. There are several factors which might have caused such log in discrepancy on your
Windows 10 PC. To help you resolve the issue, kindly answer the following questions:

• Were there changes made prior to the issue?
• Aside from booting the PC in Safe Mode, what are the other troubleshooting steps that you have done in an attempt to get the issue resolved?
• Are you using your Microsoft account to log in, or are you using a local account?

We will be waiting for your prompt response.

 

Windows 10 will not accept the Password.

Hi James,

Sorry for the delay in response. Try these steps:

• Try disconnecting the cable from the Internet:

• • If there is a Wi-Fi icon on the sign-in screen, click it and go to Airplane mode.
    
  • If there is a wired connection, disconnect the wire.
  • If sign-in is successful, let us know in the comments!
  • Also, we can then change to a local account, restart, and re-connect to the MSA.
    
  • If this works, please let us know!

2. Try sign-in on another device (phone or PC) via the
https://account.microsoft.com page.

• If the sign-in is unsuccessful, stop and handle it like any other password issue.
  
• If sign-in is successful there, don’t try resetting/changing the password, continue to the next step.

3. Try using the On-Screen Keyboard to sign in on the PC.
4. If that fails, make sure the PC is connected to the Internet (the connection icon should be visible in the lower right).

Thank you

 

Acer Laptops :are they crap ?

Acer makes a cheap prodcut period. They user lower end plastics, as well as assembly. (I hate working on Acer laptops)

If budget is an issue then get an acer... though for $50 more you could get a gateway that will smoke the acer in terms of quality.

For a laptop though i would suggest one of the DV7T's from HP or a Business class Toshiba/HP/IBM (not the lenovo branded, the Thinkpads)
