can't log on to my spare laptop

Hi Dave,

If you've successfully reset the password for the Microsoft Account that you are using as your login credentials, you should be able to sign into the device using the new password that you've set up. It is important that your spare laptop is connected to
the internet so that the changes that you made to your Microsoft Account would be synchronized to the device. For us to provide an effective solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

• Which build and edition of Windows 10 is installed on your spare laptop?
• Have you encountered any error message when you tried to use the new password? If yes, kindly provide the error message and error code.

We are looking forward to your response.

Inability to sign on to my laptop

Hi,



It's possible for you to change the sign-in method of your computer once you're logged in. Since you can't remember your password, if you're using your Microsoft account, we suggest that you follow the steps
provided in this article: When you can't sign in to your Microsoft account.
If you're using a local account, follow the steps here instead: Reset
your Windows 10 local account password.



Once you're able to sign in, you can change the sign-in options by following these steps:

• 
  Click Start.
  
• 
  Type Sign-in options.
  
• 
  Press Enter.
  
• 
  Under PIN, click Add.
  
• 
  Enter your password or any other required information when prompted and click
  OK.
  
• 
  Enter at PIN number with at least 4 digits and click OK.
