Hello,

I forgot my password to log into Windows 8 on my Asus, but I have the password hint, is it possible to log in using only this hint and how can I do it? Thank you very much.

Hello,
the password hint does not allow for startup or anything else, it is just a reminder to help you recall the password provided you have set one.

Example: if my password is my date of birth (which should never be done) I will enter "my birthday" to remind myself what password to type.

However, it is possible to change the password hint as long as you change the password:
  • settings / Account / Login options
  • Under "Password", click on change. Your current password will be required, then the new password and finally the new password hint.

Thank you. In fact, I shouldn't have provided "password hint" because before the issue, Windows would open without a password; maybe that's what caused everything to get stuck?
Best regards.
