Hello all.
Last night my password into my windows 10 (upgrade from 8.1 so I have no disk). I'm the only account other than the ones created by the system.
It keeps telling me my password I'm entering is wrong. It's been the same password since I bought the machine. It worked fine the day before. It tells me to go to account.live.com/password/reset.
I am on another computer now. how do I use that password reset thing if I can't get into my computer?
I can network in and try but the password change feature wont work for the same reason.
Assistance please!
