    Locked out of Win 10 by password reject


    I did not change my password. I tried to go to safe mode to fix a problem. Now it won't accept my password and I am locked out because I cannot get into safe mode and it won't let me go back to regular mode.

    What might cause this, and what can I do about it so I can get back into my computer?

    Can I just somehow get back to regular mode?

    I just have the one login.

    :)

  2. Window 10 Lock/Login Screen Uniquely/Randomly Rejects Correct Password

    Issue occurs on the login/lock screen, after booting or waking my Win 10 PC.

    On the login screen, after inserting the correct password, 60% of the time I will get the following message:

    "You can't sign in to your devices right now. Go to account.live.com to fix the problem, or try the last password you used on this device."

    After 2-4 attempts of the same correct password, which are rejected with the "You can't sign in..." message, Windows will finally accept the correct password.

    As noted, this only occurs 60% of the time when attempting to first log in. The other 40% of the time, I won't encounter the message. Lock screen shows no network connection problems.

    I do not have similar problems, with same Microsoft account/user, across other Win 10 devices. I don't see any action items on account.live.com that could resolve or relate to this.

    Windows 10 lock screen password

    We appreciate the details that you've provided. We suggest that you remove the lock screen password by following the steps below:

    • On the Windows search bar, type in Netplwiz and select the top most result.This window gives you access to Windows user accounts and many password controls.
    • Right at the top is a checkmark next to the option labeled Users must enter a username and password to use this computer.
      Uncheck that.
    • Click Apply and it will prompt you for your current password. Enter it twice. The next time you reboot, or your PC wakes up from a nap, you’ll no longer need to type in your password.

    Let us know the results.
