  1. Issues while logging to PC, as no picture password is available


    I have a desktop, where I use picturepassword for login. The picture does not appear any longer, and I have forgotten the original password, so I have no longer access to the computer. Do I need to restore the computer, or are there other options?

  2. Picture password not available

    Hi,

    There are a few reason why you are experiencing an issue with logging into your device using a Picture Password. For us to provide better assistance, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which version, build and edition of Windows is installed on your device?
    • Can you tell us what changes have you made on your computer before this issue happen?
    • What is the exact error message you are getting when you're trying to use the text password?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    It will also be helpful to us if you could provide us a screenshot of your login screen. Make sure to remove any personal information before posting the screenshot, this is so you could protect your privacy.

    We are looking forward to your response.

    Serious issue accessing as multi accounts all having Picture password


    I've rolled back to Win 8.1 because for this (and because for other things, like the Store stopped opening suddenly; and no WSRESET, nor any Powershell re-registering or MS-fix got it back working).

    To whom that may agree that Picture Password login needs at least the same love the password login has, I've opened a uservoice suggestion.
    Here for voting

    Hope TH2 will bring some enhancement to the table. I can't really understand how MS hopes break the market with multi-account capable tablets (not having a keyboard) and having such a issue for their simple yet innovative Picture log ins.

  4. Issues while logging to PC, as no picture password is available

    Log in requires password


    Since a recent update the PC now requires a password to log in.

    I have tried Windows Key - netplwiz and unchecked "users must use password...."

    There are no other users shown in the listing.

    I use my Windows account as my log in which is also the administrator account.

    Also on restart the lock screen shows - pretty picture and no taskbar. I have to press spacebar to release that and then it shows my account and requires a password input.
