    PC password won't accept even though I changed it


    Been trying to find a way to solve this all day.My partner normally logs into her windows pc using her 4 digit pin. For some reason, after having some problems with the pc not displaying on her screen, the option for her to log in using her pin has been removed completely.We tried to log in using her password instead but none of the passwords she usually uses were accepted.Attempted to reset the password using the phone number but for some reason while on the Verify your Identity screen it doesn't let me type into the send code bar with any of the keyboards in my house.The only other option av

    After Windows 10 update, signin screen won`t accept my pssword.

    Sign-in screen won`t take my password after Windows 10 update on a new HP laptop. I had setup a pin login but now asks for Microsoft password which I wrote down and have used before but will not accept now.

    Volume Mute Light won´t change color

    Which steps did you perform? Was this from a clean boot?
    Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste this command: shutdown /r /o /f /t 00
    It will boot to the recovery options or windows advanced troubleshooting menu.
    Click troubleshooting and click reset this computer. You will be saving files. Applications and programs will be removed. Windows will be reinstalled.
    Enter your windows logon password.
    You will see getting things ready with rotating dots.
    Click resetting this PC.
    It will then display the HP logo with resetting this PC with rotating dots and a percentage.

    PC password won't accept even though I changed it

    Changed my Microsoft account password but windows login keeps accepting old password

    Hi,

    I have a Microsoft account (to be specific, it's a Passport account. I created it with a gmail account) and I recently changed my password and activated two-step verification with Microsoft Authenticator app.

    The new password works perfectly in any web page, but doesn´t work when I try to login in my notebook. Windows login keeps accepting old password, and doesn´t accept the new one.

    Am I doing something wrong or this is some kind of bug?

    Thanks.
