Dear Richard,

Thank you for your advice. I think there is a bug here.
The same password doesn't work on the first attempt and it works when you try to enter it again. I have created 2 more accounts on he computer after signing in (I am using it now).
One thing to note is that when I was setting up the laptop for the first time, I selected a keyboard of "United Kingdom", I also used "Express Settings" when I was configuring my account. With the express settings, a LOCAL account was created.
I hope someone else can reproduce this problem.

Dear Richard,
I just bought an HP envy 4-1117nr. It had Windows 8 pre-installed. Everything worked OK to set up my account. I even activated my Norton anti virus. Upon restart, it tells me my password is incorrect. I am locked out now.
I have done a google search with no real helpful solution although many people have encountered the same problem.
What can I do?

Reply from Richard Rost:

Make sure CAPS LOCK isn't on - or perhaps it was when you entered your password the first time.

Beyond that, you might just have to reboot into system recovery mode and reinstall Windows. Sucks, but that's what happens when your password doesn't work. Sorry I don't have a better solution for you.
