MS account password confusion

Hi
Here's a thing. I normally log on to my PC using the PIN.
I'm using an MS live account associated with my MS Live email address for Windows 10
A while ago I changed the password for purposes of email & expected that the password change would be reflected for logging on to the PC.
Seems I was wrong. Now when I attempt to log on using the Live password rather than the PIN I find that it throws up 'Incorrect password'. Of course, what I thought was the original password doesn't work either.
It's not a major problem as I can continue to log on with the PIN but I'm aware that circumstances may arise when I need the password.
Any suggestions?
