[QUOTE="Lazy Sod, post: 6728671, member: 207"] A few days ago, I preparation for changing from Windows 7 to 10, I bought a genuine 10 cd, and got out my old laptop that I haven't used for a year or 2 to give it a try before changing my main desktop, and the laptop wouldn't let me in to 7 without a password. The thing is that I've never had or wanted to use a password to get into any computer that I've ever had, and that's going back to 1994. Anyway, I did a clean install of 10 on the laptop, installed Classic Shell and got going. At some point it wanted my Microsoft password and all was well. This afternoon, I turned on the laptop, put the password in and it said it was incorrect. I tried it several times and no joy, so I went into my Microsoft account on the desktop and changed the password. I logged out and logged back in successfully just to check it. I tried the new password on the laptop and it was not accepted. Turned it off and on again and all I get is the initial page (beach scene) with time and date, but with a networks column down the right hand side. It initially opened with airplane mode on and Wi-Fi off, so turned airplane mode off and WI-FI on. When I turn press the spacebar to go forwards it just turns airplane mode on and WI-FI off. I haven't been on a commercial flight since 1984, so don't know what airplane mode is. So what can I do to get into the laptop except tear my hair out? [/QUOTE]
