New microsoft account password is not working in windows 10

Hello Abeer,

We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

From the description, I suspect the problem seem to be temporary. Suggest you to try changing the password again to see if it makes any difference.

To change your Microsoft account password:

• Sign in to your Microsoft account, then select
  Security & privacy.
• Select Change password.
• Enter your current password, then the new password you want, then enter the new password again.
• Select Save.

Trying to switch to Microsoft account from local, unable to...

I tried that, more than once. I go thru the complete procedure of getting a new Microsoft account password, then when I reach the final step to key in the Windows password, I try my NEW Microsoft account password, and I get the same message-invalid password. No luck. Any other suggestions.

 

How to Log in to my PC without requiring a password

Hi,

Using a Microsoft account to sign in to your computer requires password. To help you resolve your concern, we suggest to create a new local account on your computer. Kindly follow the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows + R key and type in netplwiz and hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  When you create a user account, you can choose between two types of accounts: a local account for that PC or a Microsoft account. We recommend using a Microsoft account.
  
• 
  Click on Add.
  
• 
  Click on Sign in without Microsoft account.
  
• 
  Click on Local account and enter the details (don’t give any password).
  
• 
  Click on OK and sign out from the current account and sign in to the new created account.
