we need the exact model of your computer, and the product number

Microsoft Community - Incorrect Password after Windows 10 update – Page 2

Workaround / Solution – Remove trailing space from username

What else?

Microsoft or Local Account

 

A licensed Microsoft Technician can perhaps provide you access to the computer. 

Be prepared to show proof of ownership.

 

--------------------------------------------------------

What else?

 

Windows PIN Login issues?

Resolve  login issues with your login PIN through Windows / Microsoft.

 Reset your PIN when you’re signed out on Windows 10

Fingerprint Sensor / Forced Reset

 

If the fingerprint sensor suddenly stops working on your computer

OR

If the computer is not issuing errors but still won’t let you log in,

Consider trying a Forced Reset (power reset).

 

Reminders

 

 A Forced Reset is NOT a “recovery” and does not remove your data – this reset merely forces the computer to load the Operating System from disk. 

 

Forced Reset does not harm a healthy system nor does it “fix” problems not related to a clean start.
