i have problem with windows bootloader since i installed it on external linux drive. I want to run the startup repair tool, but I need to sign in to my Microsoft account to proceed. when he enters his password, he tells me that it is incorrect, and it is correct because I can normally log in to this account on the phone. can you get around it somehow?

    You may try Windows 11 installation media to use restore points or roll back updates. It allows to do more without a password.

    it's a post-lease laptop so I can't find previous password. to get to cmd I have to log in anyway ... probably only reinstallation remains

    Hi Maciej,

    My name is Igor, I have 12 Microsoft MVP awards. It's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll do all my best to help you. I'm sorry you have a problems.

    Windows recovery environmemt asks for some old password not current one. So please try all old passwords you can recall.

    And you may try to recover boot using recommendations at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client...
