Windows 10: Unable to login to PC account. Password Incorrect

Long story.

When I converted my W7 system to W10 I used an MS account from when I had an MSDN subscription and I was using for Skype, however, I caught out when using the system builds with windows trying to send an email to the address which was no longer valid.

Anyway, I updated the account to my current Gmail account (by making it the primary and the original a secondary) and tested it for a week with everything seeming to be OK. I've set up a new user on my PC for the new account, but when I try an log in with it I get a message that that the password is incorrect. I've validated the p/w that I'm using is the correct one for my MS account.

I can't reset the password in windows and there is no option to create a password reset disk, I've even tried turning off passwords to no effect. To make matters worse I can't log in to MS on the PC account that is still working so most of the apps are unusable. It comes up with a password prompt, accepts the pw and then brings the prompt up again with no error messages.

Any ideas?

Unable to sign in, Error: The parameter is incorrect.

I used to login using my PIN all these days. One day morning, I have only password option. There is no option to switch between PIN and Password entry. I continue and enter my outlook password, I get the error

"The parameter is incorrect"

My network status on the computer says "Connected".

From another PC, I goto my online outlook account (or Live account) and change the password. I retry and am still not able to login.I know my password is valid and outlook account is in good state. I am not sure why I am unable to login to the PC.

Anyone knows why this is happening? It is very critical I get back into my work PC.

Thanks,

Rakesh

Cannot login to user account after anniversary update

Hello,

I turned on my PC this morning and was unable to login to my user account. The password I typed in was incorrect. Blaming it on my short night of sleep, I changed the password, but to no avail.

Anyone with the same problem who had it fixed? Any tips?

Thanks in advance,

Dennis
