http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-do-forget-windows-password#1TC=windows-8

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. For more info, go to the Reset your password webpage.

• If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.

If you've tried these suggestions and still can't sign in:

• If you have Windows 8.1, you'll need to reinstall Windows.

• If you have Windows RT 8.1, you'll need to contact your PC manufacturer.

The same thing is happening for me as well. I can reset my Microsoft Live account password a thousand times but it doesn't transfer to my laptop! I dont want to lose all of my photos! Unfortunately that account is the only  one with ANY admin rights.  I am not even able to install windows updates or even refresh it :\

1. You start your own thread here; these are not chat rooms.

2. And there is no other advice from Microsoft.

3. A word of advice:

You should always have your data backed up to at least two external media destinations (external hard drive, DVDs, flash drive) in case of system file corruption and/or hard drive failure

Mr. Smithers,

First, let me say that i was unaware that responding to your questions was considered "chatting" and as for the advice? Yeah, thanks for that little nugget. Very helpful. Thank you for your time. Have a fantastic day!

One other thing you do not realize about here.

Every time someone posts here, everyone one who is subscribed to this thread receives an email with a notification about it.

Which means that the original poster and  posters trying to help them in this thread are receiving emails about other peoples problems that are not their concern.

That is why the original poster's problem is dealt with on its own with posters only replying to them.

I suggest that you read the Code of Conduct:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/page/faq#faqCodeConduct

Please do:

• Be polite and respectful in your posts, and in your replies to other people.
• Keep conversation threads on track. It's okay to disagree with another user's post, but don't take the thread off track to do so.
• Always address your comments to the person who asked the initial question, not the other posters.
