    Windows updates lock me out of my computer says incorrect password


    Every time I do the latest quality update, I go to sign in and the password says "not correct" and there are two users that I can sign in as. My actual computer password doesn't work for either of them. So then I go back and uninstall the latest update or restore my computer to it's previous state. My password work for these functions. Yet, it will only be a few days before the update starts to reinstall and I am locked out of my computer again. Then it's just wash, rinse, and repeat. It's been like this for almost a month now.


    Any help would be much appreciated.

    :)

  2. Windows 10: Issues with logging into the computer and getting incorrect password message.

    Hi George,



    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



    This issue might occur if there is Internet connectivity issue.



    To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

    • When you say that "my password in it says it's incorrect", are you trying to login as Microsoft Account or Local Account on the computer?
    • Have you made any changes to the computer prior to the issue?


    I suggest you to follow the steps below to check whether caps lock or Num lock in enabled or not while entering the password.

    Also I recommend you to enter the password through On-Screen Keyboard. Check if it helps.

    1. At the login page.

    2. Click on Ease of Access icon which is present at the bottom right corner of the Screen.

    3. Then click on On-Screen Keyboard option from the list.

    4. Enter the password through On-Screen Keyboard and try to sign in.
