    Microsoft Account login password incorrect


    I am setting up a laptop i got for christmas, and I am setting up my user account I'm the only account on the laptop. But when i try to configure my settings I get the message - 'Next time you sign in to this computer, use your Microsoft account password'When I enter the password to confirm this, I keep getting the message that my password is incorrect. I've tried my current password and my previous password, and the password i used when i set up the machine. But none are correct.What can i do, as i don't want to restart my laptop if i can't sign in again after.Roz

    :)

  2. Microsoft Account Password Incorrect!

    Thanks for your reply.

    Like I said in the post before, I did not set up two-step verification. After the hard reset, when the account did not sync due to 'incorrect password', I tried to set it up and then accessed the MS Account with the app password but it still declared the
    password incorrect. I immediately turned off two-step.

    Need help,

    Sucharita.

    Microsoft Account login password incorrect

    No login password craziness

    Brink, that was the missing step. What threw me off was in netplwiz, where it asks about password for my MS account, the user name was not the same as my MS account name. Once I entered the password (twice) I can now login without entering a password. In fact the name that was listed was not the MS account name, but a folder name. The folder is the one that shows when you click on C:\Users.
    Thanks for the help.
