Windows 10: Password temporary stopped then started to work later.

Preface: I have windows 10 laptop that I did not use for a few years. I decided to get it updated and patched. I updated and patched to latest version of Windows 10, as of this post. I used the same password continuously through the updating/restart process. About 6x different times.Bug: logging in today, the password on the computer did not work. The login would take a long time to try and authenticate ~10+ seconds Like it was going out to the web to authenticate maybe?. I typed it in a few times and pressed one key at a time to verify that I did not mistake the password. Still did not work

Login Password Problem: There's a temporary problem with the service.

Hi Microsoft,

I am keen to resolve this issue as the answer provided does not resolve.

As outlined above, I have followed Steps 1, 2, 3. When I get to Step 4, I select the Send a code to my phone option (Call ** ******47), I then insert the last four digits of the phone number as requested and I receive the following
error:

• There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later.

Can you please advise how I can resolve this issue to reset or recover the password such that we can log into Windows???

Long boot time and passwords missing

The only reason I mention the account is that a Windows update recently was causing people to be signed into a temporary account, your password manager may be installed for all users but the list of passwords would be user specific, therefore the blank password list suggests a different account. *Smile

Hi Nachappa CK,

Unfortunately this does not assist.

I have followed Steps 1, 2, 3. When I get to Step 4, I select the Send a code to my phone option (Call ** ******47), I then insert the last four digits of the phone number as requested and I receive the following error:

Please advise.
