Windows 10: Laptop has password no one can remember

I set up a laptop for my father inlaw and wrote down the password for him in case there were ever any issues. So, he lost that paper and I didn't write it down. Now I need to log in and no one knows the password. I tried going into safe mode but for some reason my Dell Celeron processor running windows 10 will not with F8 or F2 or F12. Help!

Thanks,

Mary

Email clients not remembering passwords

Hi all

A friends computer will not remember his gmail password. He used to use outlook, and seeing that I use thunderbird and it would be easier to troubleshoot I installed that for him. Now that was working for a few weeks, and now the same problem is occuring.

We are 100% sure the password is correct, as we can access the email account through webmail, but the local clients will not remember the correct password. Of course the 'Remember password' button is checked, but still no good.

It returns with incorrect password.

Any suggestions?

Edge won't remember Gmail passwords

Hi Ujjal,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you a question:

• Did you check the option “Remember the password” option at the sign in page?

I suggest you clear the Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue.

To do so perform the steps below.

• Open Edge browser and click on the More actions icon i.e.“…” located on the top right corner of the window.
• Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
  
• Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files
  and click on Clear.
• Close the browser and login to Gmail account and check if the issue is resolved.

Write back to us for further assistance, we will be happy to assist



Thank you.
