Windows 10: Log on with machine password

I am having trouble synching with Windows/Microsoft. But when I try to sign in to my account it accepts my email and PW, but then it asks for the machine PW and I have no idea what that is. Any help?

:)

 

Password access to a secondary machine

Lock screen won't let me log on and I have used current and old passwords to log in, none have worked. The machine I'm referring to is one that I do not access very often but it is still listed on my account devices. Is there any way short of creating
yet another password for my account? Or, will that even work?

Hello Mathieu,

The issue you are experiencing may have something to do with your profile or with the Windows components of your device. That being said, we will be performing some troubleshooting steps to isolate the cause of this problem. To start, we suggest that you
change your password via https://account.microsoft.com/. Here's how:

• Log in your account via
  https://account.microsoft.com/.
• Go to the Security tab.

• Change your password.
• Select Save.

Once done, log in your account to your device using the new password. Please post back with the result for further assistance.

 

unable to deactivate Windows log-on password

Hi HearaldPenkert,

I suggest trying with this steps:

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
  
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Search.)
  
• Enter sign, and then tap or click Change sign-in options.
  
• Choose the sign-in option you'd like to use, and then follow the instructions.

If you're using a local account with a password, you can delete the password to sign in without one. Try this steps:

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
  
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Search.)
  
• Enter sign, and then tap or click Sign-in options.
  
• Under Password, tap or click Change.
• Verify the current password for your local account.
• Leave the New password, Reenter password, and Password hint fields blank, tap or click Next, and then tap or click Finish.

I hope it will solve your issue.

Bye
