I set a password and it's not working

[Windows Central Question]

I bought a Dell, set it up, put in and reentered the password and it's telling me it's wrong. I obviously typed it in wrong but have tried 100 different combos of what it could be and it's not working. I have tried to reset password but asking for a removable media - so put in a USB and it said it is not a password reset disk..... help please..

A password reset disk is something you create when you create the password, so if you don't have one, you don't have one.

I'm not sure what to tell you, you may have to start over or something from scratch.

Did you setup using your Microsoft account? If so then you just need to change your password online and wait for your connected pc to update the password else you might be starting from scratch.
