  1. Windows 10 Saying it's the incorrect password, but there isn't one.


    So, i just restarted my PC, and to my surprise, it's telling me that it's the wrong password. My PC doesn't have one, and it's not even asking me for one; just the button to click "sign in" like usual. But now, whenever i click on that, it tells me that my password is incorrect.


    Even if my PC DOES have a password, why would it tell me this if it doesn't even give tbe option to input it?


    Matter at hand is that I'm locked out of my own PC. I also did the following:


    Pressed and held shift while left-clicking on restart

    Clicked Troubleshoot

    Clicked Advanced Options

    Clicked Startup repair


    But when I did the above, it gave me the error shown on the picture i uploaded.


    Stuck as to what to do...

    :)

  3. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.
