    PC will not recognize Password or reset Password


    After running "Microsoft Defender Offline Scan", I attempted to enter known password but it was not recognized. Did suggested "reset" via another PC with a different address/ID, and although a "successful" reset, the main PC would not recognize the new password. Attempted another rest/new PW, same result. Gave the system 24 hour and made a third reset attempt with a new password from the other PC. Again, the lock PC did not allow the new 3d password to work and unlock my PC. Please, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    :)

    BTW, there's no jumper for a password reset in Windows.
