Logon/Login Problems

Sorry, but any way to reveal passwords is against the forum rules.

You should be able to enable the built-in Administrator account to use if able to boot from a USB as posted in the tutorial above.

Either I'm doing it wrong or whatever, it will not let me boot as you describe. So unless someone else has an idea I guess this pc will end up in the garbage thanx anyway.

Is it possible to sync linux and windows to one account(MS) and gain access that way?

What happens when you try to boot from the UEFI USB?

That's the whole point It wouldn't let me do any thing without the password. Usually I can use a usb with no problem Now when I use it (even in boot options F12 on my pc) it goes to the log in screen with correct user name but wrong password(or so it says)

Or you could just replace the hard drive.

What's the point either way I'll loose everything. Thanx anyway

I’m sure you’ve considered & done this but I’ll add this:
Make sure caps lock isn’t on, also try the onscreen keyboard.

In addition, make sure the keyboard is plugged into a black USB port directly of the motherboard in the back of the computer and not a blue USB 3.0 port.

To Bastet and NavyLCDR, caps off, used online keyboard, keyboard in rear port. Thanx for the tips. Contacted MS again waiting for a response.
