    ****??? Can't access computer without a password... Can't get a password without getting on Computer???

    What kind of **** is this? Wake up one day and can't log on WIN 10 without some freaking password I didn't even know existed!! You can reset yuor password, but you have to log on as admin, but you need a password to do that. ****!?!?!

    RDP via Windows 10 odd Password issue

    I just moved the 'default.rdp' file from the XP Pro PC inside the network that logs in just fine to the Win 10 PC to this PC, which is also an XP Pro PC, but on the Internet, and there is no change.

    That rdp file is setup with the 'domain/user' as the user name, but I don't know where the password come from, as it's not in that file.

    I have a Win 10 PC here remotely as well that has the same issue trying to log in.

    Do you have a backup you can use? If you have it turned on a System Restore might work. If that doesn't work maybe you could copy your data from your old user account and make a new user account and install the data from your old user account.

    No, not that weird really. It's all to easy to accidentally switch from a local account to a Microsoft account without intending to. Microsoft would prefer you to use a Microsoft account, so make it (too) easy to switch you to one if you ever use it from within your local account. It's easy enough to change back...
