"This sign-in option is disabled because of failed sign-in attempts or repeated shutdowns". I've been locked out of my laptop since last night and can't log back in. How do I fix this issue?

your account is online,, you can log into your same microsoft account on any computer from anywhere in the world,, its not a local account , windows microsoft account is a hotmail/live account,, its all the same god dam thing.

so if you loose your computer,, you can buy a new one, ,and log in with the same account. da

no different than a cell phone,

computers are not for everyone,, thats the problem i see.

when i worked at Dell , they had to offer to buy computers back from some people as they kept calling with so many problems, ,and the problem was not the computer it was the user, lol

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,,

read this forum every page, all the answerers are in it .

I can't do solution 1 because my laptop powers down after like 30 seconds, so I cannot keep it powered on for 2 hours unless I press a button on my laptop every 29 seconds for 2 hours.

For solution 2, the different sign in method asks me to put in a password, not sure which password this is. It can't be the password that I use to log in to my Microsoft account online because it says that's incorrect.

i tell you another true story,, when i worked at dell canada 1999 to 2004 (tech support in call center) as a level 2 agent, when i was level 1 we took calls from the usa and canada and international queue , and let me tell you if it was a usa call we always had a laugh, they were the least educated in computers out an anyone in the world,, they be like my coffee holder broke, or my puter wont turn on,, omg,, then the call center went to India in 2004,, usa was lost ever since,, lol, no one to talk to that could help,

nothing is wrong its doing what its designed to do, protect someone from getting your files, its your computer, in fact you can log into your microsoft account on any computer from anywhere in the world,, the only problem is the uneducated Humans here. and millions blaming Microsoft,, fn hilarious really. 9 out of 10 they say, Before you reply ,, Remember , the only difference between us and them,, is we have never asked anyone for help,, i have never, i always fixed my own computer problems since i was educated in computers,. you people blaming Microsoft probly also the kind that does not change their oil often enough then blame the car manufacture when the engine fails,,,, we call that an ID 10 T error in my school. Do you know how many people I have asked for help in compters since 1990,,, ZERO,, yet all the compters around me work perfectly,, so what does that tell you,, the problem is not MICROSOFT, the problem is you and your education peoples.. lol true story,, take that to the bank,, sick of this forum,, so many retards here,, sorry for any spelling, i type 50 wpm and its early before my coffee, and yes , my school was in Picton Ontario, and we also had a typing class in grade 9 , and 10 there so we learned how to type, our teacher used to cover out hands with a sheet so we could not look at the kbd , we had to use our brain and remember where the keys were. . In Fact did you know computers used to be called dumb terminals, as they are only as smart as the user,, they are only rely on input, they are input devices.
