    WINDOWS PASSWORD vs Microsoft password


    Been hacked. Trying to recover my Microsoft account. All goes well until it asks me to submit my "WINDOWS" password. I have never set one nor do I know what it is. I have a Microsoft password. **** is this? Nothing works until I get my WINDOWS password. How do I get this hacker out of my computer? The hacker has complete control of my apps and accounts and settings.

    :)

    WINDOWS PASSWORD vs Microsoft password

    Password issue

    After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???
