I cannot get in to my win 10 Dell laptop because it tells me,' incorrect password', but it is lying, I am inputting the same Password I used for 2 years now. I really hate win 10 and I really hate aving to enter a Password to get into my own machine that I paid for but the machine has shut me out.
I don't know what the Microsoft password is only the local one I created, where would I even find a Microsoft password ?? It is Really frustrating and as soon as I do get access then I will be disabling the Password function but until then I am locked out.
As I just said in another thread to someone having a
similar problem with Windows 8, I have never used a
password in Windows, so my knowledge is limited.
Were you using any other passwords at logon, such
as a BIOS password, hard drive password, or network
password? Or just the Windows password?
It sounds like you were asked for a Microsoft account
password even though you previously used only a
local password. Is that correct? Do you have a MS
account? If so, have you used it recently? Did you
set up a Microsoft account long ago that you forgot
about?
Is your computer configured to go online or connect to
a network automatically when you log on? It is possible
that you are required to change your network password
periodically, and that you failed to do so.
I expect that others will have more suggestions.

"but it is lying" I don't think your laptop or Windows is capable of lying. Either you're not entering the correct password or as OtheHill said, your caps lock is on.
