I'm facing a hard time to login into my laptop using Microsoft account password, at first I thought I was entering wrong password, but when I went to the web, I tried to login using my password it stated password sign in method is unavailable ", so I used my passkey, I went to security page, the discovery was, the passwordless option is off, my password is listed among sign in preferences,. However after a series of trials I discovered, we have a password but we are not able to sign in anywhere with it, there's no a toggle to make password available for sign in, I have reset password several times to no avail. On my laptop, I have entered many time my latest password and yet it says password is incorrect (which from my experience means we don't have available password method) but technically we have it, the system Microsoft system isn't taking in password method, which I may state it as a glitch. My laptop has been online through all trials so no network failures. But the problem is, I'm locked out of my laptop, I do not have the windows hello pin, and no other account, other services like command prompt require my password, so I'm like totally locked out. I think the issue is not on my side because I discovered the problem when switched off the laptop on sign in things went down, I went on Microsoft live web and I found the same problem.
