Upgraded to Windows 10 from 7 and now my password doesn't work and I'm locked out

Hello,

Thank you for showing interest in Windows 10. We regret the inconvenience faced towards this.

I would like to ask you:

• Are you logged in with a local account or Microsoft account?
• Have you tried typing the password with On-Screen keyboard?

I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if it helps.

Step 1: On-Screen Keyboard

You may use the accessibility options to pop open a on-screen keyboard and type the password from there to make sure you are typing the correct password.

If the issue persists,

Step 2:

If you see your email address listed there, it must be a Microsoft account. You will be able to reset the password and log in if your PC is connected to internet.
