    Locked Out - Login Screen


    I've always bypassed the login screen using netplwz, have done this forever, but I recently changed my password in netplwz (as i,ve done many times in the past) , rebooted, and now I get the login screen with a message that the incorrect password is being used.... when I enter my updated password it still reports incorrect, and when I try any past passwords I get the same incorrect message....

    I'm staring to panic here, I simply can't get into my desktop PC (windows 10 pro, latest updates), I've been plugging in passwords for the last hour and have even tried a couple of "fixes" found on the net but no love...

    Is there any hope? any help would be greatly appreciated..... btw, when I changed / updated my password in netplwz it seemed to have created another user account on the login screen, I now see two, my original with the original avatar and a new one with the stock / default avatar... both have the same name and when I reboot it defaults to the new account with the stock avatar.... I have acees to both accounts on the login screen and passwords do not work for either account, both report incorrect passworc

    :)

  2. Lock vs Login screen screenshot

    You can use your own image of any background and just go to settings/personalize/lock screen and click on browse as in the image below. It should make whatever picture you use as the Lock Screen

    Lock vs Login screen screenshot

    Hi Josey -

    Thanks for the quick reply. While your suggestion does change the sign in process, it doesn't address the differing screenshot question. Following the steps doesn't make the login screenshot the same as the Lock screenshot. As I mentioned, I can't even find the screenshots being used for both screens.

    Still looking a solution to this. Open to any other suggestions you might have to the problem. Thanks!

    No login prompt at login screen

    Post #8 “I can login to the computer after restart, but every locking after it causes the problem.”

    Check Way 3: Lock computer in Screen Saver Settings.
    Step 1: Type lock computer in the search box on taskbar and choose Lock the computer when I leave it alone for a period of time.
    Step 2: In the Screen Saver Settings dialog, choose On resume, display logon screen and hit OK.
    Is “On resume, display log on screen” checked?
