RDP to Windows 10

So sitting here,.. I figure, okay, lets change the existing password. Maybe re-entering it will 'clear' the issue.

This is when I read the MS lock screen WORDING.

It doesn't say password. is say PIN. Enter your PIN. So,.. What IS the current password? Very.Good.Question....

This is a simple case of MS trying to make things easier - and thusly making them more confusing. So - lets see if I can't rebuild/ reset the PASSWORD.

ROFL. Owch.

I deal with this problem almost daily.

I can't remember my username? why not? uh, because it's always just there - well clearly not always, because it's not there now.

Since I am not able to recall my password, but have the PIN, I signed in, started CMD as Administrator and ran:

net user USERNAME password

problem solved. RDP connected.

Good thing you weren't following best practices and logged in as an admin account
