  1. Unable to reset security questions


    Have tried for several days no weeks to reset the security questions to be able to open and change the password or pin to my administrator account. I have reviewed and attempted all of the information that I have attempted all of the solutions that were presented in numerous areas of the Microsoft solutions. My computer system only revolves with usernames and passwords security questions that are not accepted and so on. This has caused me enormous problems with my work and correspondence. I cannot update my computer settings nor retrieve and eliminate too many sign in places on my computer but mainly I cannot access the correct information to reset my Administrator password Please help me thank you;

    :)

    Two step works for me if your phone info is the same as it was you should be able to recover it.

    Hello,

    I understand that you are unable to open some websites in Windows. We will help you.

    To assist you better, I suggest you to answer the below questions.

    • What happens when you to try to load the same in other browsers excluding Edge and internet Explorer?
    • Are you facing this issue after any recent update?
    • Have you installed any third party security application?
    Lets try with the below steps and check if he issue resolves.

    Step 1: I suggest you reset the Internet explorer
    and check if it helps.

    Refer: Change or reset Internet Explorer settings

    Step 2: I suggest you to try deleting the browsing history in Microsoft Edge
    and check if it helps as it stores the forms, passwords, and sites you've visited.

    Refer: View and delete browser history in Microsoft Edge

    Disclaimer: The Reset Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might also reset parental
    control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature. Resetting Internet Explorer isn't reversible, and all previous settings are lost after reset.

    Unable to reset security questions

    windows defender & security center services keep turning off


    Are you running any other AV or did you have one running in the past? If you didn't use an uninstaller for the AV, then the remnants of it could be causing the problem. Normally any time you install an AV it disables Defender by default.

    If you are getting any error codes please list those, that will be helpful in helping you.

    As torre suggested, might be a good idea to do a reset or even a reinstall.
