    RDP and password change SNAFU


    I learned my account was pwned recently, so I went to account.microsoft.com and changed my password. But now when I try to RDP into my Windows10 machine from another PC running Win11 on the LAN, like I used to do fine before, I cant connect using my new account password. Both machines are clouded and use the same microsoft account. How do I login to my Win10 box now?

    :)

  2. Trouble Changing Wi-Fi Password


    I've been following the following steps to change my Wi-Fi password for some time:

    1. Launch Control Panel.
    2. Click "Network and Internet."
    3. Click "Network and Sharing Center."
    4. Click "Wi-Fi...."
    5. Click "Wireless Properties."
    6. Click the Security tab.
    7. Check "Show characters."
    8. Enter the password in "Network security key."
    Those steps have been working just fine, but today I discovered a new wrinkle. If I change the password inside the router first, "Wi-Fi..." doesn't appear in step 4. This isn't much of a problem at home, because I can just change the password in Control Panel before I change it inside the router, but it would be a problem at a public hotspot, or something of that nature. I also tested Brink's instructions in "How to Connect To a Wireless Network in Windows 10," but they don't work for me either. How can I fix this?

  3. RDP via Windows 10 odd Password issue

    This means that you previously instructed RDP to save your password and that the RDP host password got changed in the meantime.
