Windows 10: My password to MSA/my computer worked yesterday. It does not work today. I did not change...

I did nothing to cause this.

Changed password will not work

Yesterday and today I have restarted the laptop - still requires the old password. Is there anything else I should try, besides everything suggested?

Alternatively, is there a way to scrap completely all passwords and replace them with brand new ones?

 

No DVD player works in my computer today, it worked yesterday!

I was using Windows 7 a couple days ago and the DVD player I always use in it was fine, today neither DVD player in my system shows up, just my hard drives but no DVD drives. I did a system restore to yesterday, before a latest update to Windows that
it did, but nothing happened so I did a restore about 10 days ago and still no DVD player shows up in my drive list. But it was working a couple days ago, I watched a DVD on it. Today it is not working, and I have two DVD players and neither is working or
even showing up in my drive list. What could be happening?

 

Changing MSA account question


I wanted to change my MSA account, @Outlook.com to a different outlook.com. I added another account with netplwiz, went to users, gave the new account the same security as my existing one.

On the MS Account page > Manage how you sign in to Microsoft > Your Info I set this new account as primary, got a notification email from MS that the primary account had been changed, with instructions that if I did this then no action was needed. This is the page to make an account primary, or remove an account.

Both accounts have the same password. I did this change on my desktop earlier today, checked both of my laptops and they both show the new outlook account in Settings > Accounts > Your Info. In the screen shot from the same Accounts page, Outlook 2 is the new one, and now it's the Microsoft Account listed at the bottom of the Accounts page. The other one listed first is the one I will delete.

All I can see in all my devices (desktop, two laptops) indicate they're using the new MSA with no change at all from the existing one that I'm planning on deleting. To me it doesn't look like deleting the previous existing MSA will cause any problems since everything seems to be working like it always has under the new one.

My question is, can I remove the previous MSA outlook.com without causing any problems? Probably won't hurt anything to keep it, but I'd rather remove it.
