When I turn on my laptop and try to sign in I am told to change my password, but nothing I use works. MSI have told me that this is a Windows problem and that I need to contact you.

I have tried a restart and a shutdown, but keep coming back to the same password change request

    Hi,

    It was working fine yesterday morning. After lunch I turned it back on and the initial picture opened, I pressed enter to bring up the sign in. When I clicked on the sign in box I got "the users password must be changed before signing in. Everything I have typed in is denied.

    I have not made any changes to the computer. I have only had it a couple of months.

    I don't know what you mean by a local or microsoft account.

    I have not been able to successfully change or reset the password.
