    Locked out of DEVICE


    I have been locked out of my pc. I used to punch in PIN CODE, did some installing then now its asking for my passwordmicrosoft accout. I can log in to the webb, no problem, but I cannot log in to my pc.
    Tried HOLD SHIFT then RESTART button for restarting SAFE MODE. Still does not work.

    Tried COMMAND PROMP to change PW but says I cannot change them, rather can change but only online.
    Changed my password on the webb but still does not accept when I try logging in to my Device.

    Tried running ADMIN to change PW, but User’s PASSWORD PROTECTED has been indicated.


    Main problem is that my Pcwindows 10 does not accept my actual password for microsoft accout. Please Help.

    :)

    PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??
