Windows 10: Repair Startup not accepting password

I know I am typing my password correctly, I have double checked by logging out and back into my account on my phone, so there should not be an issue, and yet there is. I have tried all possible keyboard options that I could have possibly used despite never having used anything else on this computer, and still nothing. This is the 4th or 5th time I have tried to do this with the same issue. I have even tried resetting the password when I am in the menu, and even that new password will not work.

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

Won't accept password in repair

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Anthony.

I'm Independent Advisor and I'm happy to assist you.

I understand how difficult it is, when the device or app won't work in the way it should.

You can try these possible solution:

Method 1. Make Sure to Enter the Correct Username & Password

When Windows 10 won't accept your password or keeps showing password incorrect error, the first thing is check if your keyboard and mouse are working properly. Unplug then and reconnect them if you are working on a desktop. If you still have trouble logging
in to Windows 10, you can use the on-screen keyboard to login.

Method 2. Reboot PC Several Times

If you Windows 10 won't let you sign in or shows the error message that "We can't sign into your account. This problem can be often fixed by signing out of your account and signing back in." Try to restart computer once or twice and see if you can proceed.

Method 3. Make Sure You're connected to the internet

If you recently change your Microsoft Account password in the web browser but now Windows 10 won't accept your Microsoft account password, make sure your computer is connected to the internet. This will allow your PC 'to' register the new password, and you'll
be able to log in to your PC again.

Method 4. Fix "Windows 10 Won't Accept My Password" in Safe Mode

If you're still unable to login to your PC, Restart and boot Windows 10 in Safe Mode and run SFC scan. It will help you fix various system-related problems.

Step 1. Restart your computer while holding the SHIFT button. The Advanced Startup menu will open on the boot. Click on Troubleshoot ->Advanced options -> Startup Settings.

how to reset password

Find the correct key combination on your PC and your problem should be solved. If Windows 10 still doesn't recognize password and you can't log in to Windows, you can use the Reset Windows Password utility to remove your administrator/user password so you can
then log on your computer without typing a password.
