    Login fail using both password and pin despite input is correct.


    Hi,


    I cannot login using either password or pin, it says "your credential could not be verify" if I use the pin. for password it says "you can reset it from the lockscreen or at account.live.com/password/reset". I am confident that I type in my correct password or pin. Please help on this.

    :)

    Password rejected despite correct password

    Hi Sam,

    Thank you for posting your concern on Microsoft Answer Community.

    If you have another user account on the tablet, you may login to that account and try the below mentioned steps.

    1. Login to the other user account.
    2. Click on start menu and just type “Run”.
    3. Type netplwiz and click
      OK.
    4. Then select the user account
      you are facing the password issue.
    5. Uncheck the box beside
      “Users must enter a user name and password to use this tablet”
    6. Then restart the tablet and check if you are able to login.

    Hope it helps.
