    Like the title says, I am having this issue with my work computer. I have contacted IT and they reset my password. I can now log in. Next, when I lock my computer because I am away from my desk, I cannot get back in because it says incorrect password. Has been happening for a week and I’m going days without email or I have to call IT and have them remote reset my password, Every time I need to use it. How can I resolve this? IT does not know how to proceed. We went ahead and deleted my account from our department and restarted fresh. This did not solve the issue.

    :)

  2. Windows 10: Issues with logging into the computer and getting incorrect password message.

    Hi George,



    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



    This issue might occur if there is Internet connectivity issue.



    To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

    • When you say that "my password in it says it's incorrect", are you trying to login as Microsoft Account or Local Account on the computer?
    • Have you made any changes to the computer prior to the issue?


    I suggest you to follow the steps below to check whether caps lock or Num lock in enabled or not while entering the password.

    Also I recommend you to enter the password through On-Screen Keyboard. Check if it helps.

    1. At the login page.

    2. Click on Ease of Access icon which is present at the bottom right corner of the Screen.

    3. Then click on On-Screen Keyboard option from the list.

    4. Enter the password through On-Screen Keyboard and try to sign in.





    Please get back to us with an update on issue with logging into Windows 10, we will be happy to help.



    Thank you.

    Incorrect Password With Networked Computers

    At work we have a PC that hosts all of the files everyone uses in the office. It used to have XP on it, as most of the PCs in the office do, but I put Windows 7 on it this time. Now I'm having a slight issue where everytime the XP computers log on, the first time they try and access the network drive they all get a window that says "Connect to \\Server\Data Files", then the actual message says "Incorrect password or unknown username for: \\Server\Data Files.

    There is a place to type a username, which has NX02\Server at the moment, and if I type the correct password, it works and they can connect until they restart again. NX02 is the PC I'm on trying to connect to the Server.

    I have a Windows 7 PC in the office I use and it doesn't have this problem. How can I resolve this? My coworkers think it's annoying.
