  1. My password is incorrect even after changing it 3 times and double checking it each time.


    So i was trying to fix a problem and I booted to safe mode and then I was prompted to a screen to put my password in. It said it was incorrect. I changed my microsoft password and it was still incorrect. I then tried to do a recovery and got sent to a screen in where i had to sign up again. I clicked my account and tried to sign in but it was always incorrect. Can i get some help please?

    Changing Time Format

    Hi Mary,

    There's a possibility that the set up time format in your computer Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is military time. To have this checked, you can try to reset the time of your computer through Control Panel. See the steps below on how to do
    so:

    • Open Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region >
      Change date, time, or number formats. This would open the
      Region
      window.
    • From there, click on Additional settings at the bottom part. It will open the Customize Format.
    • Click Reset; then, OK.

    The steps should work; however, if not, we suggest that you contact manufacturer and have the BIOS time checked.

    Let us know what happens after doing the suggestions .
