yes its the same fn one you use onlone,
microsoft , ,facebook,, gmail,, all work the same,, if forget and cant reset password you sol and need to start over with a new account. 1st try to reset the password and change pin etc,
and your correct, its the exact same ******** password that you use online,, microsoft account is a live , formaly hotmail account they all the same god dam thing,
,, if you cant long in , its stated here 1000 times,, try on another computer to log into your microsoft/hotmail/live email account,
if can log in online on other computer ,, problem is your laptop you cant sign in on ,, ie , keyboard problem or windows corruption/malware or what ever,,
next is to use data recovery methods if needed,, need a tech for that, then reset your pc to factory after trying a external keyboard etc,,
