Windows 10: Windows 10 says my password is incorrect

So today in the morning i turned on my computer and I tried to get on as regular, but my computer gave me the pleasant message of "The password is incorrect. Try again" and so I did, I tried for 2 hours, did everything I knew I could do. I tried my password several times, tried every other possible password I use, tried similar passwords, nothing was working. Then I resorted to google, but that didn't help me since all i found was to go into the extra starup options menu and try the cmd or startup reset or anything like that, but most of the options are blocked off by a password that seems to be incorrect. I do not know what to do and I don't want to reset my windows since there is too many important files/pictures/ect. on there. Please help.

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

Hi George,

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?
