W10 pw incorrect

Yesterday all day i was able to log in to my computer with a pw that has ALWAYS been the password. Suddenly, when i went to log back in after it went yo sleep it started saying "that pw is incorrect. Make sure you are using thr pw for you MS account. You
xan always change it at..." so, i went and changed it. Now neither pw works. I did nothing and changed no settings nor installed any updates that i am aware of. Tried to do a system restore and even with that i need a pw and none of mine work. Please help.

 

w10 change account user name and pw

Hello, i just format my computer for the first time, and w10 by deafault enter my e-mail as my account name and a PIN. I didn't even want that, so i did it cuz i had no other way of starting w10, i "knew" i could change later, but as i see i cant.

My windows edition is w10 Home, version 1909.

I saw many tutorials on how to change account user name and pw on my w10 when i start the pc. But i dont have access to many features even when i have the lastest version.

I really would like to change this setting cuz makes no sense having and it is not even secure!

Please if you even any details about my w10 contact me, thank you.

 

User name forgotten on a PW'd laptop

I have a friend that put a PW on her laptop. She remembers the PW, but forgot what user name she setup. I LOL'd, but I'm not sure how to help other than a reformat.
