    Windows directing reset of Password??


    Hi, I closed & restarted my windows 10 laptop for the first time in a little while. It updates of course automatically during this process.

    When I (unslept it? started from a complete shutdown maybe)... And after entering my password,

    It opens to a reset password screen, with verbal instructions automatically coming out of my computer.

    It says: Recover your Account at the top of screen.

    I've never had this happen before; wasn't having any problems...

    (worried about scam)

    Note: I do have a pretty simple, older password.

    Thanks!!

    ALSO, WHERE DO YOU REPORT TO MICROSOFT POSSIBLE SCAMS?

    :)
