Windows 10: TO INFORM: account.live.com/password/reset seemed to work, but I couldn't log in with the...

I went from the link on the win 10 login screen and it sent me to account.live.com/password/reset.

It didn't work. I'm sure that I got the password written down right.

I went to the site on a different computer with a different operating system and got another password, but it didn't work either when I tried to log into windows 10.

I finally got it to work, but only from within a windows 10 operating system on the settings page. Remotely it didn't work for me.

I just wonder if you're aware of this problem.

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.

Hacker Keeps resetting my Live email password.

I think he is trying hard to get to my Steam account again. Like I added in my first post I had a password reset for steam email.

And last time he did it I had several password reset emails in my live before (I suppose) he got it to work.

Now I don't even feel like my gmail is safe. I have it set up for Phone SMS and 2 step verification. Although I think he is having a hard time with my gmail.

HOW IS HE DOING IT!
