Windows 11 Sign Issues with Challenge Phrase

Hi,

I am trying to sign into my laptop as normal, but it says my password has been entered incorrectly so I have to enter the challenge phrase A1B2C3 and then my password. I know my password is correct but it keeps locking me out saying it is incorrect. I've followed Windows 11 tutorials to fix login issues but none mention the challenge phrase, which seems to be our issue.

    Yes, and the challenge code is always the same. Sounds like it’s the same for your computer or my computer or anybody’s computer, so what’s the point of security if it’s the same code for everyone

    Had same issue, the challenge phrase is literally what it says - you just have to enter A1B2C3 and it lets you try your PIN again. Hope this helps

    That helped me thanks how $&(+:' stupid has MS become. Really hating the heck out of Win11.
