Microsoft password

• Microsoft Passwords, one for a single account is equal to all other accounts?

  I have several computers, all but one use Win 7, the other uses Win 8.1. I have multiple accounts with Microsoft, including Windows (Windows Live)?, Microsoft 365, this Forum, Expression Web, Microsoft.net (this still exist?) and others I can't remember now. When I signed up earlier today, I was told my password does not match my email address. I went through the process to change it, and has been a success. However, I type this password often enough that I know that I have made a mistake in typing. So, my question is, I have to change the passwords on other accounts or are something that MS does it automatically for all of us? Also, what possible cause is my recently changed password fail to work all of a sudden?

  I can't speculate on why it stopped working. But when you change your password, it doesn't change a single account (email address).  So if you connect to these other things with a different email address, they will not be changed.

  I don't have a single account: I use the same e-mail address here, Xbox, Live, MSN, Outlook.com, everywhere.  In this way, they are all connected to a single account.

• Is there an official Microsoft password manager that allows me to retrieve the passwords?

  I'm tired of using third party different things like Lastpass and passpack. I'd like something that fits with my Microsoft account and allows me to record and display the login information of account as well as any arbitrary additional information. Is there something like that out there? Or do I just keep a document locked in SkyDr... I mean, OneDrive?

  Just click the "Show" button next to reveal the password.

  

• How remiove the obligation to Microsoft Password logon?

  I am new to Windows 8.1 and have purchased a MS Surface Pro 3 computer.

  The Pro 3 guard forces me to connect using our site Microsoft.com password whenever we start Pro 3.  How can I disable this?

  There is no sorry.  If you want to use the features of Windows 8, you must use a Microsoft Account.  It doesn't have to be an email from Microsoft if: you are free to use Gmail, Yahoo, Comcast, whatever email you wish, such as your Microsoft Account username.

  It's like Google and Apple.  If you want to use a Google phone, you must have a Google account.  Even with the iPad and Android.  That's all just the modern era.

  It is impossible to disconnect the Microsoft Account and still use the features of Windows 8.

  ------

  If you want to keep the Microsoft Account but simply to bypass password screen when you wake up your computer for faster access, you can do so by setting your power options not requiring a password during awakening.  Note that the full boot will always require a password, but most of the users full stops in any case, thanks to Windows 7 and 8 hotels new improvements.

  • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

  • If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.

  • If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.

  If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:

  • If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.

• Cannot connect on Windows, asking a password that has never been

  I never wanted a password in my PC.  Starting this week, I have a password that I never ask. Now, I can't do anything in the PC without the password I've ever had.  This is the case, try to get the icon of ESPN.  Microsoft Windows asks a password now in order to do the things I've done without it.  I can't stop my PC because it asks for a password when he wakes.  The Colombian who responded (paid) could not fix it and I'm stuck with it.  Need to take it to someone who really knows how to clean all passwords unless you help me...

• Computer does not accept one of my passwords

  It is a strange, as far as I know.

  In a Word, my computer won't let me in my user, any password that I use, that I used for my local user for several years to my Microsoft account.

  I'll give you as many background I can.

  I got to my computer (I'm sorry, but I don't have the name of the model in my head and I use a public computer to write this) about two years ago, not long before the release of Windows 10. When I booted it around the top of the first time I have urged to create a profile, then a Microsoft account, but there was something odd about the procedure. I don't remember the details of it, but there was something about the configuration of email that kept me or had me to refrain from linking to Microsoft, and I opted for a local user and used my webmail to read emails, and that was all. I suspect there is something that came back to haunt me, but I don't think that's what caused the problem.

  Sunday night, I bought and downloaded a digital comic, which has been protected as a .acsm file. Having never had to deal with the type of file, before I left to find something that could read from Microsoft Store. I started with OverDrive, and when it does not work I tried MyeBooks, which required my password of Microsoft. I couldn't remember the password in time, then at a loss for a lot of other things, I used my computer password, that has worked. I still couldn't read the comic, because MyeBooks claimed he had already been used, but I was too frustrated at this point to deal with most of the night and decided to do something else before going to bed. I tend to have sleep disorders without some sort of atmosphere to clear my head, so what I do is I open a YouTube video, to find a video long enough, start it and let the mind-numbing conversations and dancing lights asleep asleep (not to start a discussion on what is and isn't good for a computer because it strains the Circuits I say just because it might be relevant). After a while, the computer goes to sleep as well, and I can just wake him up again with a simple mouse movement in the morning. However, when I woke up and tried to do this, for some reason the start screen was a new Windows theme, and under my user name my email address was posted, and when I tried to enter the password he refused to unblock, or ask the password was wrong and that I should try logging into my account from Microsoft to solve the problem , or I should try 'the last password used on this device.

  That's what I tried

  I tried all the passwords that I used to unlock the computer before. After that, I tried several combinations of these, just in case where I had a little confusing due to lack of sleep, and then all the other passwords, I knew it couldn't be. After that, I went online on a computer at school to see my account of Microsoft and after a long attempt to remember my password that I managed to get, only to find nothing out of the ordinary, no message, no prompt, nothing. As I got today my Microsoft password I got home and tried to use it on my computer, no effect. I tried to reset my password. When this does not work I tried to change my password, and as an extra pourrait-being-useful I downloaded Microsoft Security app on my phone. And this doesn't work anymore.

  I paint a blank on what to do next, without forgetting what happened, and I would appreciate really any insight or solutions. I did not return to the top, because every time I've tried in the past, that the process hangs after some time without good reason, so if a solution does not wipe the hard drive or anything that translates by my lose that some files that I have on the computer I will be very happy. I carry most of my things on an external hard drive, but there are a few things on the computer, I want to keep.

  Finally I managed to understand the problem was a combination of it suddenly requiring my password of Microsoft and my keyboard setup had changed and when I changed it back it kept resetting when I restarted the computer. Since then, I managed to understand how to connect again to my local account with my old password, and I once again can visit his profile.

  This problem is solved.

• Wrong email address / non-existent - NO password

  While the creation of a computer user account windows laptop 8, whoever did it (not the real owner) has used the wrong account, we cannot even create because he has a "_" (unauthorized) and also used a password that he now does not remember. Therefore, we are completely blocked.
  Is there a way we can access the computer? I see that it happened to others, yet all possible solutions, I've seen seem to involve a password that we don't have. Do we not have to reset?

• Cannot connect to my main account from microsoft, so I can't remove it from my laptop.

  Basically, when I set up my laptop, I used my email address of the time. After a few weeks, I have deleted this email address, so it is no longer active. I can't re active either as I deleted it long ago. More of this, I forgot the password of my Microsoft account password, I created with this old email address. I have now a new e-mail address and the new Microsoft account, but the problem is that I can't put it as the main account on my laptop. I can not access contacts etc. without the old old password with inactive addresses. So what I'm asking is, how do I set the Microsoft account most recent being my main on my laptop and remove completely the old, without no password, emails to the old account, because so far, all my options included using the old Microsoft password account, or by sending an email to recovery to my old e-mail account which I can not access. Help, please.
