Windows 10: Unable to access teams and change my account details

Can you help? I have had an ongoing issue trying to sign into Project teams meetings - I'm not being able to join teams meetings for projects. It started to become very problematic for me - any help appreciated resolving this.. All my business is done on my Mac. I do run a Windows program on my Mac, using Parallels virtual machine. I use Google to manage my email storage, etc. I do have a Microsoft 365 account for word and Excel when I use it. my Microsoft account is a personal one that I use for very basic Microsoft activities.Historically I was able to join teams meetings using the chrome ho

Unable to access MS account

Hi, Not strictly MS office. I'm having trouble accessing my MS account. I rarely use it, and do not use it to log in to my computer. I've had a couple of emails suggesting that there has been some unusual activity on it (from Russia!), and a security alert. These do seem genuine emails. However, I have tried to access the account to see the activity, but I have been unable to log in. It keeps prompting me for the password, and even when I have (apparently) successfully changed it, it then refuses to allow access saying that the password is incorrect. When changing the password, I have tried to put in the same one as previously entered, but it says that I cannot use it as it has already been used before. This would suggest that it has accepted the previously entered new password, but will now not accept it. I don't understand. Matt

Change Microsoft Account Details in Administrator Account


Hi Daryl, welcome to the Ten Forums.

It's quite easy in fact, simply switch the account in question first to a local account, then switch back to a Microsoft account, this time using your wife's MS account credentials.

Tutorials:

• Step 1: Local Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
• Step 2: Microsoft Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Notice that before doing this you need to remove the new additional MS account on the PC, the one you created with her credentials. Windows allows only one user account for each email address, if the new account exists you cannot switch the original administrator account to an MS account using the same email address.
