I have a new PC, Windows 10, and I access another PC through Remote Desktop Connection. I don't remember my password and need to find it. Help! (And thank you!)

Answer 1

Hi viczack,

If you are using a Microsoft account, you may reset your password here. 

However, if it's a local account and you’re using Windows 10, version 1803, and added security questions to your local account to help you reset your password, you can select Reset password on the sign-in screen. (This link appears after you enter an incorrect password.) Then, enter the answers to the security questions and choose a new password.

Please respond to this thread to let me know how the issue progresses. Similarly, if you have more questions, please inform me by replying to this post.

Answer 2

As it happens, your fix did not apply to the remote connection problem. It wasn't my password that need resetting. I needed to enter the email/password of the other computer (that I was accessing remotely). After hours of errors and attempted fixes, and following steps that led to further confusion, I finally realized my error. Everything is up and running now.

Answer 3

Thank you for the update. Glad to know that everything is now up and running. Should you need my assistance, let me know.

Cheers!
