Windows 10: When your correct Password will not work for System Restore

Many people have said their correct password will not working for system restore.

I have found this will work.


Start your PC and DO NOT LOGIN with your PIN!!!! only Login with your PASSWORD...


Then restart the computer with holding the SHIFT key and it will load into the menu and options. Navigate to System Restore.


When asked now for the password it will work as the original login was not with a pincode but password.


Hopefully this helps for you.

Cheers

:)

 

System Image Restore Is Not Recognizing My Password

Although I do have 2-step verification I don't think it was the problem as I have been able to do a system restore in the past with it enabled. I also tried logging into my account on the pc with the password & that failed too. I was certainly careful in entering the password. After changing the password all was fine so I don't know whether something got messed up with the original password change or what else may have caused it.
