Windows 10: Password stopped working

I have been using the same password for the last 4 years, and suddenly Microsoft takes it as wrong. I tried to enter it multiple times but it was not ACCEPTED in any way.


I was forced to change my password and now I can't return to my old one, cause your software suddenly remembered I used it and doesn't let me. Please HELP ME!

Hello Fishbait, and welcome to Ten Forums.

OPTION THREE in the tutorial below can help show you step by step on how to reset your Microsoft account password online. Be sure to leave the PC that has this issue connected to the internet and running for it to eventually sync with the new password.

All that did was allow me to reset my password with microsoft.com.

What about the machine I can't get into?

 

Passwords Plus - "Application has stopped working"

I have been using this application, Passwords Plus, for a long time - since XP and Palm.

It worked well with Win10 until last week, when I started getting the message above ("Application has stopped working").

I have gone to the company's website, DataViz, and their solutions have not worked.

When this first happened, I checked their website for solutions. They acknowledge this as a common error. Solutions tried are:

• They suggested right clicking the program icon and running as an administrator
  
• editing permissions on the Security tab for the "Documents" folder, to allow all permissions.
  
• Next they sent a reg file, asking that this be added to the registry
  
• then they asked me to re-install the program.
  

None of this has made any difference - the program still crashes on opening.

Questions:

• Has anyone else encountered & solved this error?
  
• Any suggestions for things to try?
