Windows 10: Newly built Pc can’t connect to the internet/wifi. I also forgot my local account password...

The motherboard I’m using is GIGABYTE X670E AORUS PRO X AM5 with Wifi 7. what Im thinking the issue is, is I need to install new WiFi drivers from gigabyte, but while looking at the different drivers I didn’t know which one to install. Also I can’t even login to my pc because I’m using a local password that I forgot because I haven’t used my pc for over a year till I recently fixed it but I forgot the password. So the first thing I need to help with is logging into my pc. Please help.

forgot then changed Microsoft account password

Hi,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Try disconnecting the cable from the Internet:

• • If there is a Wi-Fi icon on the sign-in screen, click it and go to Airplane mode.
    
  • If there is a wired connection, disconnect the wire.
  • If sign-in is successful, let us know in the comments!
  • Also, we can then change to a local account, restart, and re-connect to the MSA.
    
  • If this works, please let us know!

2. Try sign-in on another device (phone or PC) via the
https://account.microsoft.com
page.

• If the sign-in is unsuccessful, stop and handle it like any other password issue.
  
• If sign-in is successful there, don’t try resetting/changing the password, continue to the next step.

3. Try using the On-Screen Keyboard to sign in on the PC.

4. If that fails, make sure the PC is connected to the Internet (the connection icon should be visible in the lower right).

Thank you.
