Actually it works fine to login, and also when I execute something with sudo. But when I try to change preferences and window with login/password pops up, it says that password is incorrect.
So I actually cannot install anything.
I finally figured out the issue first you have to make another Admin account I did this by following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7awY1KI2s8
DON'T USE THE SAME PASSWORD THAT YOU USED ON YOUR OTHER ACCOUNT I HAD PROBLEMS BECAUSE I DID THAT
If you are experiencing the same issues as me where the password didn't work
follow these steps to change the password
Restart the Mac
During when it's booting up go into recovery mode.
Once in recovery mode open up Terminal.
Enter this and then press enter: resetpassword
Reset password for the admin account that was made.
log into your new admin account and then make your other account an admin user.
Restart computer and then login to your account.
The problem is – input language is not eng, even showing it is. Try delete any other input languages – worked for me.
FWIW - I had a similar issue with DP3 following a restart (I could not login with any account). After shutting down and booting again, I was able to login again.
Had the same problem. Log in with iCloud solved it.

I'm required at work to use a Mobile Account connected to Active Directory. I also have an Administrator account on my computer (which is a local account).
Whenever I need to use sudo commands from the terminal, logged in as Mobile Account, the password of the Admin account is never recognized.
All the other operations that need a password input (e.g. the authorization to install Applications) work, so I can't explain why inside the terminal it doesn't work.
I've solved it by putting my user in the list of sudoers.
Checkout this link on how to do it.
I tried everything using terminal still can't get anything I can't change it using user setting as it demands the password and admin name I used keychain but still didn't get it
Boot up your Mac and hold CMD + R
which will boot into Recovery Mode.
Go to Utilities and open Terminal. Type in the following:
resetpassword
Close out the Terminal window and behind it you will find the Reset Password utility. All you have to do now is select the user account you want to reset, enter a new password or leave it blank and click Save. Then just simply restart the computer from the Apple menu and login with your new password.
recently, when I open my Mac terminal, it runs as root default and requires a password to continue.
After I enter the password, it switches to my common account, it is so strange. I want to log in as my common account by default, not the root, any ideas about this?
Did you already tried to change your account settings at SystemSettings/Accounts/ Login options ?
I had written a code to delete login users from PUMA. Unfortunately due to a bug in the code, the admin login got deleted. How to set it back?
The login never gets deleted by deleting through PUMA Utilities. Only its password gets reset.
It can be retrieved back by logging in to the console and Under Manage users--> Select this user and change the password.
It worked fine then for me!
I'm using the Google Cloud Console to create a new Windows VM. I've tried both Server 2008 and 2012. In either case I cannot log into the VM once it's up because it says I have an incorrect credentials.
I've read this article:
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/operating-systems/windows#understand_auth
However, it doesn't seem clear to me how this works. Previously I simply copied the password during the create new instance process, and the username was the same as the GC project ID name. This time I tried the name approach (projectID name + password) using RDP and couldn't login. I then tried my own username + the copied password and it still doesn't work.
Again, I haven't lost a password. The instance is brand new, I copied the password from the setup process, and I'm still not able to connect via RDP. Is there another step that I'm missing? Or do I not have the correct username in place?
Any help is appreciated.
We recently changed the way users log into new Windows instances. All the details should be at https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/operating-systems/windows#log_into_a_windows_virtual_machine
but please let me walk you through the steps.
Once you created a new Windows instance in the Developers console, please go into the new instance details page:
and then click "Create or reset Windows password".
You can now choose a local Windows username in the dialog [by default, this is your gmail without "#gmail.com"]
Click "Set" and wait until the new password is displayed to you.
Hope this helps.

I just discovered this issue on a PC that was working fine yesterday. Ie yesterday I could reset the password, today I could not. This was running on Chrome. The issue was that you could click reset password, get to the dialog with the user, but selecting 'reset' just caused it to spin and spin. I solved it by closing the browser and reopening it. Or open in Firefox. This was on a brand new VM instance.
As Alex states, this is a browser issue. I was not able to see the "Create or reset Windows password" button using Firefox. I went into Chrome and followed his instructions, everything worked as expected and now I'm up and running via RDP.
