    Windows 11 does not accept correct login password until max # of attempts exceeded


    I typically use my fingerprint to log into Windows 11 on my laptop and when that does not work for whatever reason, I am asked to enter my password.Unfortunately, the system does not accept my correct password and I am required to continue to enter it multiple times until I get the request to enter A1B2C3 in order to continue. The system continues to reject my password and eventually prompts me to restart my computer. When this arises, I do not restart but rather enter my password for a final time and am then logged in successfully.This scenario happens every time I am required to enter my

    Microsoft account doesn't accept reset correct password

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand the difficulties you are facing while login to the PC using your Microsoft account.



    In this scenario, we would suggest you to perform these steps and check if you are able to sign with the correct login credential in Safe mode. Also check if you are connected the PC to the internet, preferably through Ethernet cable.

    1. At the login screen click on the power symbol.
    2. Hold SHIFT key in the keyboard and click Restart.
    3. After restarting your system, select the Troubleshoot option.
    4. Select advanced options under
      Troubleshoot       screen.
    5. Click on Startup Settings
    6. Click Restart and follow the onscreen steps to go to Safe Mode
    7. Login with the correct password using the onscreen keyboard.


    Please get back to us with the end result for further investigation.



    Regards,

    Laptop Login won't accept correct password

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand your concern as you are unable to login to the Microsoft user account either with the old or new password. We would like to know the local user account that you
    are currently using is a Standard or Administrator account.



    In this scenario, we would suggest you to perform these methods and check.



    Method 1: Connect the laptop with an Ethernet cable for network connection
    and try the onscreen keyboard to enter the password. Click on Ease of access from the right bottom corner of the login screen beside the shutdown icon, to select onscreen keyboard.



    Method 2: We would suggest you to refer the steps as mentioned in this article:

    Laptop Login won't accept correct password

    I'm currently logged in as a local user. When I try to switch my login to use my Microsoft Account it won't accept my password even though I am able to login into my Microsoft account with that password. I've tried changing password and restarting, still
    not working. Using Windows 10 on an ACER laptop.
