Hello Zoe, 

 

Before proceeding could you please answer few questions:

  1. Are you able to change the password successfully?

  2. Do you any error message when you try to change the password?

I suggest you to reset your Microsoft account password using a different computer and check the status of this issue. Refer to the below link:

Yes I can change my password on another computer with no error message and can log in on another computer. I just can't login on my computer.

Hi Zoe,

It is unusual that the computer does not accept your password even though you are able to log in from a different computer.

First, confirm the correct password is getting entered with some simple checks before resorting to more extreme measures:

  1. Click on the “eye” icon in the password field and view the password before hitting Enter.

  2. Verify the keyboard layout wasn’t changed during the upgrade, causing you to enter unexpected characters when typing.  Press the Windows Key and the Spacebar at the same time to check the keyboard language and layout.  While holding the Windows Key, press the spacebar repeatedly to change the keyboard layout.

Get back to us with the result.
