    Password Problem-can't log on to computer-windows 10


    I recently purchased an HP computer with windows 10 installed. I got onto the looked around and set up email and customized a couple of things before shutting it down. Now when I restart the computer I get taken to a screen asking for my password (it also shows my MS outlook address). I didn't realize I picked a sign in address and don't know the password. I went in to setup screen and chose default setting in the security tab and I now get the message 'Can't log in to device right now. Go to account.live.com to fix problem or try last password used on this device' I'm stuck. Any suggestions?

    :)

    Windows 10 Not able to sign in

    I upgraded a new PC to Windows 10. Everything did work fine for at least two weeks until today. I can't log in anymore to the PC. I get the message (translated from Dutch) "you can't log into your computer now. Go to account.live.com to try and solve the
    problem or use the password you last used on this computer." I changed the password of my account according to the procedure (with the use of another computer) but that doesn't work either. I can't get into my computer. I do have access to my account with
    the new password on another computer. Please help!

    Windows 10 won't let me login to my computer

    Original Title : Windows 10 sucks

    Windows 10 did it again. Forced me to change my password then won't let me log on to my computer. I went online and reset my password 5 times and I still can't log onto my laptop. I can log onto my Microsoft account with the new password on this Linux laptop,
    but can't use my new laptop.

    I will NEVER touch that Windows piece of **** again.

    How could you set up email without knowing the password?

    I am sure you are genuine but it is against forum policy to advise how to get around passwords (as we have no way of knowing if the request is legitimate - ie is person asking trying to crack into somebody else's pc). Please do not be offended by this - the intent is to protect a person's data.

    However, we can say that you could always clean install the OS (since that really is public knowledge) and start again.
