WINDOWS 10 PASSWORD B.S.: HELP?
SO YEAH. I’ve been saving up for a second laptop since June (it’s December now) and I finally got one. Fantastic MSI laptop, Windows 10, yadda yadda.
I have a MacBook Pro as my primary laptop, but I grew up on Windows and I use a virtual Windows machine on my Mac to play games. Of course, this is very limited, hence my desire for a gaming laptop.
Long story short: I’m getting that (apparently) infamous error where the computer won’t recognize the password you set for it. I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled Win10 on this thing once.
If I can’t get this fixed, this computer will turn into a thousand-dollar brick. Can someone please offer any suggestions or advice? I’ve been under so much stress lately and I was looking forward to having a proper gaming machine for the first time in years. :(
IMPORTANT: Capslock is off, Numlock is on. The computer itself won’t recognize the password I set for it. That password is not the same as my Microsoft Account password, which is working just fine. I haven’t been able to link the laptop to the account, because every time I try, it asks for the computer password “one more time” for security reasons. Every time I enter it, it says it’s incorrect.
Also of note: Sometimes it takes a few reboots for it to even let me log in from the lock screen.
What the FUCK, Microsoft? Get your shit in order you dumbfucks.
