    Windows password not working on new computer


    I am trying to set-up my new HP laptop and the first thing I'm trying to do is set-up my Microsoft Account. I have logged in with my Microsoft email and password, but the next thing it's asking me for is my Windows password. I have tried entering my Windows password and my Microsoft password to no avail. I've also reset both passwords and tried using the newer passwords and it still didn't work. Is my Windows password not the password I use to log into my current laptop?

    :)

    • If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:
      • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
      • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. ...
      • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.

    New FF - passwords

    Hi:

    If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

    Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help


    • Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
    • Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

    Thanks,
    MM
