  1. Windows thinks my password is wrong it isn't


    I'm trying to use my Microsoft password in WinRE to fix another issue I'm having but it keeps telling me my Microsoft password is incorrect when I know it isn't because I just used it to log in on another device. I may have changed my Microsoft password since originally setting up the PC so maybe it wants the original password but I have no idea what it was. Is there any way to find out my old password or otherwise get Windows to let me in?Please note that my logon UI is currently experiencing a bug with 'an overrun of stack-based buffer' and I cannot access my desktop.

    :)

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    Wrong Password


    The "Old Password" is the password to your local account. It is about to change your local account to a Microsoft Account. If you don't mind this, then enter your local account password. If you think this is overly intrusive of Microsoft, don't do it and let Cortana die.
