Answer 2

Hello @Johannes Kingma

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum, and thank you for sharing the details with me. 

Based on the information you provided, it appears that you are experiencing an issue with OneDrive local sync after changing the password of your Microsoft account. As a result, you are currently unable to access the SharePoint document library that was previously synced to your local computer. 

To help resolve this, please try resetting the OneDrive client: 

1. Press Win + R on your keyboard, then enter the following command: 

%localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset  

If the path cannot be found, please try one of these alternatives: 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset  
C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset  

2. After running the command, please wait for OneDrive to complete the resync process.

If the issue persists, please try selecting “Verknüpfung dieses PCs aufheben” in OneDrive, then sign in to your account again. 

Since the stored credentials used to sync SharePoint previously are no longer valid after your password change, you will need to open SharePoint on the web and sync the library again. 

Please let me know if you encounter any issues while performing these steps or if you have any updates. I look forward to hearing from you
