Password incorrect (even though it isn't)

[AmandaJLK]

Hi there, Went to log on to my laptop and it said that I had the password incorrect, which it isn't.

Now I cannot get on to my laptop.

It does give me a message to reset it at account.live.com/password/resset but that looks dodgy.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Amanda

Hi @AmandaJLK,

Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel.

I understand you are having issues logging on to the computer on your HP Pavilion notebook. Don't worry as I have a few steps which should help you to resolve this issue,

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details

Is this a Windows Logon Password or Bios Password?

Have you tried performing any troubleshooting steps before posting this on HP Support Forums?

In the meantime, let's try these steps here:

If it's a Bios Password - You would have to contact HP phone support  for a hardware service as the motherboard may require a tattoo/Bios Flash.

Any other way of unlocking the BIOS is not authorized by HP.

I understand you locked out of your computer and need the Windows login password. Try this first: Use the HP Guided Solution: http://hp.care/2fKbuW6

Microsoft account:

Reset your Microsoft account password online. You can reset your password on any device connected to the Internet. See the Microsoft password reset page to reset your password: http://hp.care/2dHdY5M

Local account:

Use the following link to reset the password for your local account: Windows 10: http://hp.care/2dOYNcy

I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes for further assistance.
