    Password is suddenly incorrect


    A password that I never changed since I built my PC is suddenly incorrect.

    I can not get into any of the solutions recommended online like back up admin account safe mode because it keeps asking for my password.


    I tracked down the email I’ve used to activate windows when my PC was built a couple years go it showed when I was in the advanced setting screens and upon trying to recover that email. The info I provided does not work with the ‘automated’ systems Microsoft has. After 3 tries I apparently reached a ‘limit’


    Is there any other way to get a hold of a live customer support in Microsoft ?? I’ve tried calling and even their online help always directs you to ‘automated’ systems


    Please, any help is much appreciated.

    :)

    Password incorrect

    How do I get out of safe mode so I can reset my settings?

    1. Press Windows + R keys to open Run command.
    2. Type msconfig and press Enter.
    3. In the window, click on Boot tab.
    4. uncheck Safe boot, click on Apply and Ok. Restart
    Not sure why it started in Safe mode. May have been out of sync with your phone from prev incorrect password. See if restart fixes. At least, you know what your universal MS password is. *Wink

    Password is suddenly incorrect

    Google password is incorrect

    I've been using e-mail on my Nokia Lumia 800 phone for a year, suddenly wants my m.google.com password, so I enter my googlemail password and it doesn't like it. I've checked earlier threads for this issue and have tried the Anmelden – Google Konten recommendation,
    but nothing changed. Can confirm 2 step verification is off and has never been on. Really don't know what to do!
    Any suggestions please?
    Cheers
