Problems signing in to Windows 10? So you can reset your access password

You may have encountered this problem at some point. You tried to log in on your Windows 10 PC and found yourself unable to because you can't remember the password you set. We can all have mistakes but there is no need to be alarmed, since in this case there is an easy solution.

This is about resetting the password in Windows 10 and it is very simple if we have linked the PC to a Microsoft account (Outlook or Hotmail). The data is in the cloud and you just have to follow these steps to get access again.

"

Once we realize that we cannot log in to our computer, we have no choice but to make use of the options offered by the screen where, in theory, we should log in. To do this, we will go down to the bottom of the screen looking for the option Login Options When pressing we will see that it offers two access possibilities: either by pulling the PIN or with a password. But of course, memory has played a trick on us."

"

Click on the option I forgot my password or I forgot my PINthat appears under the text box where we should have typed the access key."

"

The system will then ask us for the email address of the Microsoft account that we have linked to our PC with Windows 10. Once written, we _click_ on the Continue button."

The system then asks us to confirm that we are who we say we are and for this it offers two methods: either by using a login application or by sending a key to the secondary email that we have configured in the Microsoft account, this being the method we have used.

"

We have to access email either from another PC or from a mobile, as we remember that we don&39;t have access to the PC. Write the email address in the box and click Send code."

We will receive an email that we have marked with a security code, which we must use to confirm the identity on the computer. To do this we write it in the corresponding box on the computer screen.

Once confirmed and when the system determines that we are really who we say we are, we are asked to set a new password for the account Microsoft, which must be new, that we have never used it. It is the one that will not give access to the PC and also to all Microsoft services associated with the account.

Once written, the system will inform us that the password has been changed correctly and in this way we can access our PC with Windows 10 on a regular basis .
