Are you using a Microsoft Account? If you are, then you may have to logon as

MicrosoftAccount\[email protected] in order for it to work.

I dislike using or requiring the use of the MS account. So this is a local computer account only.

OK along these lines try %computername%\account on that PC

Yea, did that too.. nope.

You need to uncheck "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication" if you are using an older version of RDP (typically from a linux client).

Not clear from the thread above whether that is what you are doing though.

Different laptop - Pre/post... Was able to connect once I turned on Allow Remote Connections.

Don't think it matters. The Windows 10 system I just connected to still has it turned on. So - can't be the 'difference'

Yeah I heard someone else say this but I have never found a linux client to connect to a RDP session with NLM enabled. What is your client software?

Someone mentioned above that Remmina can do it.

Yes, Remmina is what I am using.

There is only one difference that I can think of here -

Webroot

But that doesn't seem likely as I'm getting the response that the UserID/Password is incorrect. If it was Webroot it wouldn't even get that far.

Which I thought uses FreeRDP, which in turn I thought was stalled in terms of modern RDP compatibility. I really wish there was an RDP client that supports RDP 10, or even 8.2

disable it and try again.

So sitting here,.. I figure, okay, lets change the existing password. Maybe re-entering it will 'clear' the issue.

This is when I read the MS lock screen WORDING.

It doesn't say password. is say PIN. Enter your PIN. So,.. What IS the current password? Very.Good.Question....

This is a simple case of MS trying to make things easier - and thusly making them more confusing. So - lets see if I can't rebuild/ reset the PASSWORD.

I deal with this problem almost daily.

I can't remember my username? why not? uh, because it's always just there - well clearly not always, because it's not there now.

gjacobse

Since I am not able to recall my password, but have the PIN, I signed in, started CMD as Administrator and ran:

net user USERNAME password

problem solved. RDP connected.

Good thing you weren't following best practices and logged in as an admin account
