Windows 10: Windows 10 "The referenced account is Locked and maynot be logged on ".

Hi, I am using Windows 10 on My work domain computer. Every time the system sleeps or restarts I enter correct password but the windows locks "The reference account is locked and may not be logged on". I have tried changing password multiple times and it has been recurring again and again. IT says they see wrong password entered multiple times which is not true. It's frustrating.

the referenced account is locked out (after Windows 10 upgrade)

Hi,

I recently upgraded my PC from windows 7 to windows 10 last week =. If I leave my pc idle, it logs me out and when I try to login it gives me the following error "the referenced account is currently
locked out and may not be logged on to" . After multiple attempts it allows me to login in to my PC.

My PC is a user in the network and don't have administrator privilege. Called the Network administrator, no help provided yet.

any suggestion will be much appreciated.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
