Windows 10 problem
gibbo:
Has anyone on here had problems logging in to their Windows 10 system? 'Incorrect password' appears after typing in all the usual details. Strange really as the fault occured after one of Microsoft's updates. Have tried most things to rectify problem via Microsofts website but to no avail. Looks like I'll be hiring an IT guy to sort it. All security systems etc all up to date so I'm baffled. :(

Dumb things to check first:
- keyboard not locked in CAPS
- keyboard working (batteries, etc), but you can probably see the ***s appearing
If it's a Microsoft account, reset it online (select "I forgot my password" etc)
If it's a local account (as in local just to your PC), that's more painful.
These look sensible sites to try:

I wouldn't exclude the possibility that your keyboard layout setting can have changed by that update. Maybe try to find out how your password would have to be typed on an American keyboard and give that a try...
S BMW:
As the lads said all the above , also do a google search with the update problem to see if the update has caused it .

Thanks for the info chaps. I'll give all those ideas a try and see what happens. Lucky I can still post via my mobile. ;)
