    Password Required For Computer Access


    For the last 8+ years, I entered a PIN to enter my laptop. All of a sudden, I'm being asked for a password. When I reset my password per the instructions, it tells me that it is incorrect. The operating system is Windows 10. Will I ever be able to access anything on this laptop?

    :)

  2. No Password required After Computer falls asleep

    Hi Dennis,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am sorry to know that you are facing issues with Windows 10. Do not worry, will assist you with the issue.

    Since the security features are enhanced on Windows, this happens when the password is disabled on the computer to ensure there is no protection for your user account, however you may enable the password and check if that
    helps you.

    Here are steps to disable the password after waking from sleep.

    1. Click Start.

    2. Click Control Panel.

    3. Click Power Options.

    4. Click on “Require Password on Wakeup” on the left pane.

    5. Click on “Change settings that are currently unavailable”.

    5. Select the first option “Require a password.”

    Note: when your computer wakes from sleep, no one can access the data because the computer is locked.

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

    Password Required For Computer Access

    One computer cannot access other network computers.


    So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:
    • Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
    • Ran a bunch of network commands:
      • flushed DNS
      • registered dns
      • pinged and located the named computers successfully
    • Reset my router to factory settings

    Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

    Any thoughts?
