Windows 8 is not recognize my current password

Hello

I'm trying to change my current password using the setting PC-> users-> change your password. A screen was portrayed by asking me my current password.
I'm sure that my password is correct (at least I know that I always use to connect to my local account). Whenever I had entered my windows password says your password is incorrect :(

Note: It is possible to change the password by the bias of the group management and control computer, but I need to enter using the configuration of PC (for example to switch to the online account).

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand you have questions all in, change the password for the current account. We are happy to help you in the matter of fixing.

I would like to know some more information on this issue to help you better.

  1. As you said you get the prompt "incorrect password" error, do you have questions while logging in to the local account?
  2. Is the local account with administrative privileges?

In the meantime, please follow the following suggestions to solve the problem.

Step 1: If you are able to connect to the local account and then try to change the password and then, try to pass the local account to Microsoft Account.

Step 2: If the steps above does not help, try to create from scratch a new account of Microsoft and see if cela woks.

  • My computer or Windows Exployer do not recognize my CD/DVD equipment. I checked and the best driver currently installed, but the device is apparently disabled. Help!

    I went into the properties of the device, but could not find a solution.

    Hello

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

    Make sure that Windows is updated appropriately that there have been several USB updates.

    1 check that the driver letters for them, for a player, if the drive of the default drive letter is changed, what is happening.
    Mine was h: I added a device that took H: and the player stopped. So I put it back to H: and the other
    device to J: and everything worked again. If necessary start - type in the area of research-> disk management find top
    -Right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN

    Don't forget to remember the MP3 must be set to the PSG to sync with WMP, and meteorological service of Canada to copy and delete files
    and update the firmware.

    If no joy follow these steps:

    You may need a powered hub. (all the USB ports on your computer are not powered, often only 2)

    Try these:

    Make a Restore Point

    Control Panel - Device Manager - click in the empty area - VIEW - show hidden devices

    Here, your devices are the MP3 player.

    Now look everywhere EXCEPT the USB controllers for your devices (cannot be found) and if you find
    It RIGHT CLICK and UNINSTALL all.

    now go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers in the category, but the category itself.

    APPLY/OK

    RESET

    This refresh battery USB and hopefully it will allow the unit to install. (You may need a powered hub)

    Here is the similar procedure under XP, Vista is the same, except that we need clear specific devices, as appropriate.

    When I run Auto Play in the search box; the iphone is there with the icon to the right, but there is no screen options menu. It behaves as if it were invisible.

    It is important to note that this started AFTER downloading the pictures for the first time. Until windows has always recognized my camera properly.
