  1. Windows password messed up


    I have a Microsoft Surface running Windows 10. I was using a Windows Password to access the Surface on startup. The other day there was a Windows update that tried to install on the Surface. For some reason it said the update couldn't be installed and it would be removed. The update was removed and the Surface rebooted. When the screen can up to enter my password my existing password failed incorrect password. Now I can't access my Surface. Is there someway to resolve my problem?

    :)

    How to reset Windwos 8 Password?

    • If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:
      • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
      • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. ...
      • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.

    New FF - passwords

    Hi:

    If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

    Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help


    • Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
    • Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

    Thanks,
    MM
