    The user name or password is incorrect at logon screen


    Hi,

    I've installed Ubuntu side by side with Windows 10.
    After selecting to boot windows from grub bootloader
    I get a logon screen with the message:

    The user name or password is incorrect at logon screen [​IMG]

    When I press enter the logon process goes as usual I enter my password and login.
    How can I disable this annoying message ?

    Thanks
    Roey

    :)

    CANNOT LOG IN TO WINDOWS 10

    I have windows 10 on a laptop

    Issues are as follows

    When the logon screen appears I logon as previously and I am met with the user name or password is incorrect

    Also I note that there is no internet connection.

    Have tried the onscreen keyboard, and tried to reboot using f8 but no success

    the user name or password is incorrect. try again

    Suggestion does not fix password issue. I dont use the Windows account to log on. I have a local PC password only.

    The user name or password is incorrect at logon screen

    Hello Roey.. *Smile

    It sounds like you have set up netplwiz to automatically sign in to your account at startup. This issue usually happens if either the password was entered incorrectly while setting up netplwiz, or you changed your password and didn't update netplwiz. It seems like you changed your password though since both PCs are affected.

    You can setup netplwiz again on both PCs to update the password to have it automatically sign you at startup again. Another option is to check the box, to no longer be signed in automatically at startup.

    Hello Brink *Smile

    I don't have 2 PCs, only one with dual boot (using Linux's GRUB).
    I didn't change my password or re-installed Windows. Just installed Ubuntu side by side it (dual boot).
    I have a Microsoft account and I don't want neither tho change the password nor to automatically sign in windows
    (un-checking Users must enter a user name and password.... ).

    It seems that there is an inconsistency with this problem , some times it appears and sometimes not.

    Thank you again
    Roey
