  1. TIFU - Can’t Log in, PIN disabled, password forgot, Microsoft password doesn’t work! Help!


    So I f*cked up today, I was going through msconfig to try to disable some very annoying startup applications that wouldn’t disable when I tried to remove them from the task manager startup list. In doing so, I set my computer to boot diagnostic I think or safe mode and disabled some things I shouldn’t have, and am not able to log in now. Usually I use a pin to log in, but that option is disabled and says “Someyhing happened and your PIN isn’t available. Click to set up your PIN again.” , and clicking set up pin does nothing. The only option to log in is with a password, and I don’t believe I have a windows password set, and my Microsoft password doesn’t work either. Please help if you can, I don’t want to factory reset my computer TIFU - Can’t Log in, PIN disabled, password forgot, Microsoft password doesn’t work! Help! :(

  2. Upgrade to windows 10. Current password doesn t work

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I will assist you with this.

    Please let us know

    • Are you logged in with a local account or Microsoft account?
    • Have you tried typing the password with On-Screen keyboard?
    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: On-Screen Keyboard

    You may use the accessibility options to pop open a on-screen keyboard and type the password from there to make sure you are typing the correct password.

    If the issue persists,

    Step 2:

    If you see your email address listed there, it must be a Microsoft account. You will be able to reset the password and log in if your PC is connected to internet.

    Refer,

    Hope this information was helpful.

    Upgrade to windows 10. Current password doesn t work

    Current password doesn t work incorrect. Reset password requirs some usb stick which is not in my posession. Any ideas ? Try to access microsoft account but non of my email adress is recognised so cannot try this option.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:
