  1. Windows refuses to accept my MS password


    I have just done a clean install and MS account refused to accept my password, again, it happened on 20H1/2 RTM and now on Dev.I copy/paste the password 100 characters long, when I unhide the password, it is all correct, but Windows just refuses to accept it.I have tried changing the password several times, making sure there are no special characters, just letters and numbers and no luck.I have finally managed to login via Edge and from there Windows accepted it somehow, just like before, but what about the future?Since I use 2FA, I am worried that I might get locked out of my account indefi

  3. Password MS not accepted

    Windows 10 does not accept my MS password (even after I changed it using my iPad. The problem presented itself for the first time, after my Antivirus software Kaspersky detected a Trojan Horse, which was removed. Before removing it, I discovered that it
    was installed by Microsoft. Kaspersky judged it dangerous for my privacy, so it was removed. After reboot I was confronted with this new problem. I had never used a password to get into my PC before. Now Windows 10 does not recognize my MS PW. I have no access
    to my PC. I tried everything, first verifying the azerty-querty problem.

    Windows refuses to accept my MS password

    Computer refuses signon with unknown password


    Our computer has mysteriously acquired an unknown password and refuses any signon. We have purposely omitted any signon password (hit return at prompt) because our computers are secure. So the spontaneous injection of a password is problematical. We have tried most recently internally used passwords for applications (starting with the most recent) but nothing works. Short of calling Microsoft does anyone have a suggestion?

    We have not originated an account with MS or created any hierarchy of accounts. One user and one signon in an isolated environment.
