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.

App store and Microsoft account

Thank you for the advice

I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

 

Password rejected despite correct password

Hi all,

I cant sign onto my tablet with windows 10 as it keeps telling me the password is incorrect and to reset it, however despite resetting multiple times now i get the same response. The laptop is connected to the internet.

Ive tried multiple fixes but none of them seem to work.

I cant access any settings that require my password, as windows tells me its incorrect (even though I know its correct as I use it to sign in everywhere else).

Desparate for a fix that doesnt reset it, as half my college work is on this laptop

Edit #1: Attempted to change my password using the laptop, which was successful, however after trying to sign in using this new password I was told it was incorrect

Edit #2: Ive found the password that can access the troubleshooting, but it wont work for my account
