Windows 10: MS password is not working in recovery mode

Currently having troubles with my computer and need to troubleshoot it. Unfortunately, when I go into recovery mode and try using command prompt or any repair, it asks for a password. None of my password's work and I just changed my password on the Microsoft website. Is there a way to find or change this password on the computer? I can log in no problem with my pin and get into the desktop. thanks in advanced, Dustin

I’m in recovery mode trying to reset my laptop but password doesn’t work

I’ve deleted all my MS services in config so I can’t log into my laptop at all. In recovery mode, for any step, I’m asked to choose an account and enter my MS password, which doesn’t work. I’ve already changed my password but the laptop doesn’t seem to be online so I don’t think this helped.

I don’t have access to any recovery media. Is there any way to fix the mess of my own doing?

 

hdd password recovery

howdy. if this isnt the right forum please move it.
a friend has a 3 year old hp or compaq tower. they called me to help. they are not able to get into the admin accound, because the password was changed. it was changed by them when a popup told them for security they should change thier password.
after it was changed they could no longer get into the admin account with the password they changed it to, and the computer started sending out emails to everyone on her address list with porn and viagara type adds.
i ran anti virus and we found 20 trogans, virus, ect. everything comes back clean now, but we still cant get into asdmin account to format drive.she doesnt have a vista system disc, just the recovery partition.
1.. is there a way to get the password?

2... if not can i install a new hdd and install from her recovery partition?

3...will i be able to install new hdd and install vist from my disc or is the mb set up to not alow that?

thanks for any help, they are on a limited budget and are true friends to me and i would like to help them. thanks! sam

 

New FF - passwords

Hi:

If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help

• Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
• Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

Thanks,
