Change user password in Microsoft Account

My new Windows 8 software tells me that I can change my user password by going to "account.live.com/password/reset". Only problem is that I can't.

Can someone put me out of my misery?

  • Problem with creating user Notifications / change user password

    Hello

    I'm having a problem send emails to users when an account is created in the IOM.

    I've added a notification to the user and Manager of the user on the task to create a user in the definition of user Xellerate process but emails are not sent.
    I know that if I create another task in order to send emails and call it through the answer in the task of creating a user, it will work.
    My purpose is to avoid adding tasks for something IOM should be able to OOTB.

    I'm also unable to send an email when a password is updated... I did the same thing for the user to create and I know that the task (change user password) is called by looking at newspapers, but emails are not being sent.

    Has anyone encountered this kind of problems?
    I'm having these problems in the task of user Xellerate process... I've added notifications to other process tasks (mostly tasks for approval) and that they are working correctly.


    Thanks in advance

    I ran into several question all about change the default behaviors of the user Xellerate object and the process. The Xellerate object and the process have additional built in secuity to prevent users from accedentily their spoil, so when you make changes as you try to do that they do not work. I have a few SRs open on this, because I have a customer who would like to have sent notifications when new users are created by IOM. As a work-around, I drive offshore the purpose of user AD resource notifications because each IOM user automatically gets an ad and Exchange account.

All the world and ideas how to fix it.

    Thank you

    You can use system restore to set up Windows to a point until you have changed the password now:
    1. put your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2 start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. press a button if you are prompted to start from the DVD.
    4. When prompted, select "Safe Mode Command Prompt".
    5 log in as administrator if you are prompted.
    6. Select repair when prompted.
    7. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    8. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
    9. When finished, remove the CD before restarting the system.
    In step 2, you can also use the Windows 7 installation DVD. The subsequent steps are similar to those above.

    When you're done, plan and create a second account. admin record its details on paper so that it will never happen.

  • Change user password - how to exclude a single resource.

    Hello
    Setup: IDM 8.1 patch 14
    Question:
    In the admin-> passwords-> change password is a table and a check box that allows the administrator to change the password for the user identity and all system accounts resources.

    I know that this table is defined in the "user form library.
    < field name = 'CurrentResourceAccountsTable - check boxes, password policy' >

    And a < FieldLoop for in = 'resourceAccounts.currentResourceAccounts [*] .name 'name' =' > is used.

    My question is how do we exclude a resource in this fieldloop. I have a single resource that I do not want for admins to change the password on.

    Any ideas would be useful.
    Thank you.
    IDMXML

    That's right, the resource is excluded from the FieldLoop but this does not prevent the selectAll attribute to select it.

    Rather than change the FieldLoop, you can also try adding the following code in the form of user change password (of the form-level properties, see an example in the comments of sample/forms.xml):

      
        
          
            
              resource
              equals
              Special Resource
            
          
        
      
    
  • someone has changed my password on the account of admininstrors, I can do

    my ex-husband has changed my password on my admininstrors account and set up a network with permissions on it is what can I do?

    If it's your computer, then bring it in a store and see if they can reformat the drive and reinstall Windows, or otherwise bypass.  They can at least copy the data on the hard drive.  If someone did something, you probably will never know with certainty what, it is best to reinstall the software.

  • Change the password of my Microsoft account and verification of accounts

    I'm trying to change the password of my Microsoft Account - I have received through my secondary e-mail address verification code - but it doesn't work, I tried a few times, actually 4 times. But it doesn't always they say the verification code is incorrect and I am sure that I put the Code right. Why can't I just reset or change my password. It's very simple.

    Hello Ross,

    Please provide an opportunity to help on Microsoft Community.

    Have you tried to use the mobile phone number to receive the verification code?

    I understand that it could get frustrating if you are not able to verify your account, but be assured that we are here to help.

    Ideally, the verification code that is sent to alternate Email ID works to change the password of the Microsoft Account. You can also receive the verification Code using the Mobile phone number.

    Please enter your phone number to receive the verification code, then check if you can change the password for Microsoft Account.

    Check the items to help Microsoft provided below for more information on how to receive the verification on Mobile phone code.

  • Impossible to install W8.1, impossible to install the KB2862973 update with error code 80073712, cannot connect to the microsoft account

    I have 64-bit Windows 8 and all these problems started when I tried to install the 8.1 update.  Whenever I try to go to the store to update to 8.1 I get the error message saying "we were unable to connect to the store. This could have happened due to a server problem or network connection has expired.  Please wait a few minutes and try again. "So I looked at this topic and you have tried all the tips of help from Microsoft, convenience stores, store transparent cache, etc. etc. etc. etc.. I can not connect to the store at all. Now I can't change users to a Microsoft account because it tells me that when I try that "we could not connect to the Microsoft services right now.  If this problem persists, look for 'referee' on the start screen. "I also performed this task without success.  Then I have a Windows update KB2862973 that fails to install and gives the error code 80073712.  I looked for solutions to this problem, and those who have tried unsuccessfully.  I really need someone to tell me how to fix all these issues, because I believe they should be linked.  It is a desktop pc Dell that is connected to the internet without any problem and is only about 1 year. I am tech savy, but need HELP!

  • Why I have to connect to microsoft account with my password of microsoft just started my computor

    I just bought a new laptop which has windows 8.  Whenever I start it, I need to access my Microsoft account with my password of Microsoft just to get to my office at the top of the page. When I go to user accounts is the only option that I change my password for Microsoft, I don't see an option to do not use a password at startup.  My concern is: I will lose my current email address due to move it to another location and may not be able to take it with me.  Microsoft will not allow me to rename my account and my email will no longer be associated with this account. If I lose my microsoft account, I'm afraid that I could not simply start this computer without a password for the account of miscrosoft.  I am the only user on this computer and I would like to be able to turn it on without using a password.  I hope someone can help

    Hi Ronald,.

    With Windows 10, you have an option to sign in using your Microsoft account or just use a local account. Skip option is just below the part of the Microsoft account login. After ignoring, you will be asked to create a local account. If you don't have a password for your local account the first time that you set up, you will not receive a prompt to enter a password the next time that you open a session.

    At this point, you can try to remove the local account existing instead and create a new one without a password. So, let us know how it goes. If you encounter the same problem, it will be better if you could provide a screenshot.

    Kind regards.
