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.

    • it was a mobile OS first thats why its UI its so bad, the same with windows 8 which was more designed for tablets and again not as a desktop OS first.

    • Rufus 4.9.2256 by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.8.2253 changelog: Switch to wimlib for all WIM image processing: Greatly speeds up image analysis when opening Windows ISOs Can speed up Windows To Go drive creation (But won't do miracles if you have a crap drive) Might help with Parallels limitations on Mac (But Rufus on Parallels is still unsupported) Enables the splitting of >4GB files with Alt-E (But still WAY SLOWER than using UEFI:NTFS) Others Switch to using Visual Studio binaries everywhere, due to MinGW DLL delay-loading limitations Add more exceptions for Linux ISOs that restrict themselves to DD mode (Nobara, openSUSE, ...) Improve reporting of UEFI bootloaders in the log, with info on the Secure Boot status Fix an issue with size limitations when writing an uncompressed VHD back to the same drive Fix a crash when opening the log with the 32-bit MinGW compiled version Fix commandline parameters not being forwarded to original Windows setup.exe Rufus 4.9.2256 fixes: Fix downloads from https://rufus.ie no longer working due to recent GitHub server changes Fix unofficial Windows ISOs, with single index WIMs, not presenting the WUE dialog Download: Rufus 4.9 | Portable | ~2.0 MB (Open Source) Download: Rufus 32-bit | ARM64 Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
