Can't Sign in

[MatrixGrenade]

Windows 10 just forced me to upgrade to the anniversary edition and is now telling me to log in with the last used password. There is just one problem with that, I haven't used the password to log into the computer since I updated to windows 10 (I've been using a pin). I've already tried to log in with my Microsoft account password and it doesn't work. BTW the account is a live account so I cant strip the password with a recovery tool (already tried it.)

You should have a password before you can add a PIN

I do have one, but I have no idea what it is because I set the password when i got windows 10 and then never used it again

I was worried that would be the only option. Thanks anyways though.

Back up some data. Should write down password though

I'll probably just make it a local account and make the password my old pin instead.

It is your e-mail (hotmail/live/outpook) password.

If you truly forgot it, then you can do a "Forgot my Password" recovery from another PC/device
