Changed the password account MS, but old still required to connect to Win 8

Don't know exactly what happened, but the account password for Hotmail/Outlook/MS original was only 7 characters.  Changed the password online, but after the restart, an old still need to connect to Windows 8.  Then it will prompt me later my MS Account password.  Tried to change to Windows 8, but the old password still required.
Any ideas on how to get the password to change to my first connect to my MS Account password?  I am running Windows 8 Pro with all the updates that are installed on Acer Aspire 5315.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris,

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

From the description of the question, we understand that the computer will prompt you for the old password, even after changing the password online.

We need additional information to help you in a better way.

1. have you changed the password on the computer?

2. have you logged as administrator?

3. is it a Microsoft or a local account that invites to the old password?

This problem may occur if you have not changed the password for the computer. Ask us to log on as administrator and change the password in the settings of the computer.

You can check the link change the password.
