password sign in

Hi,

About your concern with typing the password after being idle, it is actually recommended to activate for security reasons.

If you wish to disable it, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Go to Settings.
• Click on Accounts.
• Click on Sign in options.
• On the right side, you will see required sign in.
• Change it to Never.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Laptop won't accept password

I have a laptop that won't accept my microsoft.com password. When I type in my password I get the message "That password is incorrect. Make sure you're using the password for your Microsoft account. You can always reset it at account.live.com/password/reset".

I am using the correct password, which I confirmed by signing in at microsoft.com in a browser window on another computer. I have just now changed the password, confirmed that the new password works by signing in on the other computer, but still the laptop won't accept the new password.

The laptop is running Windows 10. It's apparently connected to the internet when I turn it on, but I can't get past the initial screen that appears when you reboot. How can I fix this problem?

Thanks.

Phil

 

Sign in with a Microsoft account instead

I have a Local Account and want to, "Sign in with a Microsoft account instead". I go through all of the required steps including entering my Username and Password. Microsoft accepts everything, then ask me to enter my password one final time. I very carefully enter it exactly as I did before and Microsoft says its not correct. Any help wold be appreciated.
