My Laptop (Windows 10) was locked!!

[Rakesh_kann]

My laptop has started behaving weird!! I started my laptop this morning and was directly redirected to the ENTER PASSWORD. I tried entering my password which is numeric. But it is not allowing me to login as the password is wrong! How is it possible? I've never changed the password and no one could dare to touch my lappy. I am not a techy guy to handle the situation. Help me any one out there please
I could see the password hint as my. God knows what it really mean! I've never kept a pwd with my...

Here is some advice from MS, you can use top link to change password: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/12429/microsoft-account-sign-in-cant

if it doesn't work, we can't really help you find password any other way but I can offer this. If there is anything you want to rescue off laptop, try http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/

Since you don't know password, the only real way to get back into win 10 now is a fresh install. download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

change boot order in the bios so USB is first, hdd second (if you unsure of this step, whaty make/model laptop is it?)
boot from installer

Make sure "Caps Lock" key is not active, because if it is the keyboard will type characters instead of numerals.

Or 'Num Lock'

Try to type the password using On-Screen Keyboard. Click the Ease of Access icon at the lower right, then select "On-Screen Keyboard". After typing the password, you can click the small eye icon inside the password box, check if the password shown is correct.
