I tried using the pin I set up or whether I can make any adjustments to the password I would use - no luck.  I have to use my Microsoft account password?

Yea you use your first name as the Username and your Microsoft account PW as your password.

 

Or rather that's what I had to do make it work last time I tried it.

username:  microsoftaccount\<microsoft account email address>

 

password: microsoft account password

 

Basically, you have to set the domain to be microsoftaccount.

Sibasish - Welcome to neowin. 
Please dont open 3 year old threads, especially if it is to say Thanks.

Its nice you're thankful - but it adds to clutter.

Feel free to open your own thread if you have a similar RDP Win login question.

    • First of all, Mars' atmosphere is way to thin for hang gliding, second the only reason rare minerals are worth a lot of money is because they are rare, they won't be worth trillions if there's a bunch of it in space and third, nobody alive today or their children's children is going to see this happen.
    • If somebody actually provided those upgrades to windows 98... I saw welcome, somehow somebody still wants to maintain it.
    • We were fine, if not even better back in the XP-7 days where we could pick and choose the updates. Wait for the brave to grab everything and report back on what update broke what (not that they were breaking their own OS anywhaere near as hard back then every few seconds) The security scare is just that. This isn'tsome locked down company machine. I'm supposed to be the master of it. Not them. The basic folk eating up their security above all to the point that options and control are drying up for those of us who are capable. It's not cool.
    • We can't even fix our own environment here on Earth after screwing it up, but we're going to terraform another planet. Sure...
    • So you still have to rely on the network supporting it? Some networks, in fact most networks in the U.K, are using Googles version of RCS, which means the Iphone RCS will not work., SMS don't have any encryption, but then I don't send anything that is important or need encrypting, if I do need to tell someone something that is so important that I am bothered about my messages being intercepted then I phone them. But 99.9% of the messages I send are not important and are things like, do you want to pop out for a pint tomorrow, or do you want to meet for coffee and then setting the time and place. Nothing that important and SMS does what I need, I have no need for RCS or any other messaging system. The only reason i keep Faceache messenger on my phone is because of a couple of people
