Siging in using True Key Windows 10

Hi Francis,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand how difficult it could be. We will look into this for you. This issue may be due to True Key being enabled on your system and True Key is by McAfee which eliminates the hassle of remembering passwords.

I would suggest you to follow steps mentioned below to uninstall True Key standalone program and check if it resolves your issue.

1. Please
   Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10.
   
2. Sign in with Picture password.
   
3. Type appwiz.cpl in the search bar and press
   Enter.
   
4. Look for True Key or Intel Security True Key in the list of programs and right click on the same, select
   Uninstall.
   
5. If above mentioned program are not found in the list, look for
   McAfee LiveSafe.
   
6. Right click on the McAfee LiveSafe and select
   Uninstall.
   
7. Restart the computer and check.
   
8. If you are able to boot to desktop using Picture password successfully, type
   services.msc in the search bar and press Enter.
   
9. Look for Service Installer Wrapper True Key in the list of services and right click on the same and select
   Stop.
   
10. Then Navigate to C:\Programs\TrueKey and delete all files in the folder.
    

Hope it helps.
