Password No Longer Works! Really?
Does the password fail if you don't use the computer for a long time?
If you find that your password is no longer working for logging into your computer, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are a few common explanations:
1. Caps Lock or Num Lock: Check if Caps Lock or Num Lock is on. Passwords are case-sensitive, so this could prevent you from entering the correct password.
2. Windows Updates or Changes: In some cases, after a major Windows update, there may be user profile issues or other mistakes that need to be resolved.

Some systems implement security measures that lock accounts after a number of failed login attempts. If you tried to enter your password multiple times incorrectly, you might be temporarily locked out.
