Windows 10: PC not accepting my Windows password even though correct.

How do I get around the issue of my PC not accepting my Windows password? The password works whenever I turn on my computer and sign in, or try to unlock the screen after locking it, or after it times out. But it doesn't work when I try to use it in the box that requires it to authorise signing in with my microsoft account. it says: We’ll need your current Windows password one last time. The password you have entered for your device is incorrect. Please try again.

Microsoft account doesn't accept reset correct password

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand the difficulties you are facing while login to the PC using your Microsoft account.



In this scenario, we would suggest you to perform these steps and check if you are able to sign with the correct login credential in Safe mode. Also check if you are connected the PC to the internet, preferably through Ethernet cable.

1. At the login screen click on the power symbol.
   
2. Hold SHIFT key in the keyboard and click Restart.
   
3. After restarting your system, select the Troubleshoot option.
   
4. Select advanced options under
   Troubleshoot screen.
   
5. Click on Startup Settings
   
6. Click Restart and follow the onscreen steps to go to Safe Mode
   
7. Login with the correct password using the onscreen keyboard.

Please get back to us with the end result for further investigation.

Safe Mode won't accept correct password

I'm trying to run a third party software (AVG Internet Security) cleanup file that recommends Safe Mode. Yet, when I get to the Safe Mode lock screen, it won't accept my password (note that I am entering the password, not the PIN - it's the same password that gets me into my Microsoft account). Any suggestions what I should try? I'm hesitant to run the cleanup file in full Windows since it's not recommended.

 

windows 10 not accepting admin password even when it is correct.

Original title: Is Microsoft even bothered about customer issues.

I have spend more than 4 hours today trying to find a solution regarding windows 10 not accepting admin password even when it is correct.

When entering correct password it give a error message as "THE PASSWORD IS INCORRECT. TRY AGAIN" it does not even give an option to change password or reset.

I have followed the below step provided by a support engineer from Microsoft but still no solution.
