Cannot login my Windows 8.1 Pro with my live ID, don't have the Microsoft Logon Option

My laptop was installed with a Windows 8.1 Pro, and it worked very well before, i can login with my domain account and Windows Live ID, but today when i startup my laptop and i cannot find the option "Login with Microsoft/Live ID", i only can login
with "Domain account/Local Account/SmartCard".
Microsoft Account/Live ID is a local administrator but my domain account seems is not a local administrator.
Now even i can login with my domain account, but i cannot change anything, because i'm not a administator, so how to make the "Microsoft Account" login available when i login the windows? (by the way, i cannot add a new login in the "Change
PC Settings->Accounts", because my domain account is not a local administrator)
thanks.

Hi William,
According to your description,I would like to know if you can see "Other User" option on the login screen.
If you can see it,please click it and type your microsoft account.
If you cannot see this option,please click Switch user to check the result.
If the issue still persists, please upload the screenshot.

  • Inserted a new hard drive into my Mac Boo Pro 2008 15 inch and don't have the original disks. Wondering if there was a way to purchase them.

    Inserted a new hard drive into my Mac Boo Pro 2008 15 inch and don't have the original disks. Wondering if there was a way to purchase them from Apple or if I buy them off ebay will they work? Also its A Macbook Pro 2008 15 inch glossy with 2GB of Ram the serial number is worn off what kind OS do I need?

    Wondering if there was a way to purchase them from Apple
    Yes. Contact Apple Support using one of the options in the Contact Us below. You will need your MBP's serial number and payment method for a nominal fee. If the exterior serial number is illegible look elsewhere for it: MacBook Pro: How to find the serial number
    or if I buy them off ebay will they work?
    Probably not. Grey discs are system-specific and will work only for the exact model MBP with which they shipped. It's likely that Apple will charge you less money, and it will be guaranteed to work.

    Well I figured it out, right click the arrow that makes the screen bigger and unclick the Hide Toolbar. I knew it couldn't be that hard.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro Shows me Identifier/Key ID & I have the Recovery Key File with 48 digits

    I also have the password written down on a piece of paper, neither one work. When I right click to unlock the Gold Lock, I type in the password it will not work, then the system shows me "Key IF: FCB##### number, it matchs the key on the digital file.
    Not matter what I try I haven't been able to unlock the 1T HD, it did encrypt the few files I had on the drive, then I was adding more, all was fine until I shut it down and tried to log into it the next day. Since then, nothing. Like I said I did save the
    file "BitLocker Recovery Key File" no good, won't unlock.Can anyone help?
    I even have a copy of it in the cloud

    Hi Encryptionist,
    How did you configure the Bitlocker ?Have you configured a password to unlock the drive?
    To unlock the Bitlocker drive ,we just need to input the password if we have configured it. If there are letters in the password ,please check whether the caps lock has been enabled .
    The recovery key is used when we forgot the password .The identifier ID showed in the inputting dialog should be corresponding with the ID in the recovery key files. Please ensure they are the same.
    If the issue persists, the specific drive may have suffered a corruption. Please use Bitlocker repair tool to recovery the data.
    You can refer to the detailed instruction in the link below:
    Repair-bde.exe Parameter Reference (it also applies to Windows 8.1)

  • When I don't have the BROWSER menu option turned on, the WINDOW menu options are un-accessable by mouse

    First of all, I would like to clarify which "menu" is un-accessable.
    I'm referring to the menu that regardless of which program, a user can access by either clicking ALT + SPACE or by clicking the top left corner of the window. I'm NOT referring to the FIREFOX menu options, those I am fine with.
    Normally, I can just move my mouse to the top left corner and double click to close a program. I used to be able to do that too with firefox 3.6. However, due to the new design, when I click the top left corner, I get the orange Firefox drop down menu. This is because firefox, due to the new update, no longer has an independent window bar that is the norm across most programs. The only way I can get this independent menu bar is to enable the browser menu bar. This however, adds two entire layers of bars, which defeats one of the purposes of the update, to give more viewing space
    The Chrome browser also has the tab row on top, however, it doesn't have the issue I brought up. When I click the top left corner of the window, the regular WINDOW menu options pop up.
    The reason why this is important to me is due to the fact that I use two monitors. Normally, I can just move my cursor to the top right and close the window without looking for my right hand side monitor, and then double click the top left hand side of my left hand side monitor to close the window. This is because with a 2 monitor set up, the "X" close button is located inconvinently in the middle of my two screens, forcing me to aim for the tiny small red rectangle, which is why I prefere to double click the top left corner; I don't have to aim.
    I have long been a loyal user of firefox. Browsers like Chrome and others have been out ranking firefox for a long time, mozilla is only playing catch up here...
    While I am glad for the update - better speed due to JaegerMonkey, the added hardware acceleration, the tab groups, and more, if the window menu problem is not resolved soon, this update is going to force me to switch browsers.
    I look forward to a fix, or response on how to resolve this issue.
    Many thanks,
    Still a firefox user... for now

    it's possible but there is likely no need to do this. what exactly is wrong with your computer? a simple reinstall of snow leopard on top of your current system will cure many ills and will preserve your data and applications. and many problems can be solved without reinstalling at all.
    but if you insist on doing a wipe and install boot from the SL install DVD and start disk utility from utilities menu at the top. erase your hard drive using the erase tab in disk utility. then quit disk utility and proceed with the install. and if you do reinstall I suggest you back up your data first. otherwise it will be completely wiped when you erase your hard drive. and you should always back up anyway.

  • I need to delete an iCloud account off my iPad to sign in with another but I don't have the password

    Hi all, I have inherited an iPad from an ex employee of our company and I'm trying to delete his iCloud account so I can sign in with mine!
    Every time I try deleting it I get asked for his Apple ID password which I don't have a can't get!
    Are there any ways I can delete his account off this iPad an sign in with mine?

    Sorry, no way around Activation Lock. If there was, it wouldn't be much of a security feature. You need the original owner to disassociate it from their account or you have a very expensive doorstop.

  • Cannot login to Windows 8 Domain PC with AD account

    I have a Dell Inspiron 15Z which is joined to the domain. The laptop is running Windows 8. I am unable to login to the computer with any domain account (even accounts that have profiles saved on this device). I can ping the DC and I am able to login to the
    DC with one of the accounts via RDP, so I know the account is not locked out. Just to be safe I reset the password for the account and still it gives me the "Incorrect password or username. Try again" error.
    A little background:
    I recently did a Windows Refresh on the computer due to some software issues. After Windows Refresh was completed I was able to login fine. But after a while it started throwing me the above error. I reset the password and was able to login under both accounts.
    Now neither accounts work. My domain has two domain controllers, one is currently offline due to hardware issues.
    I have used to lockoutstatus.exe tool to verify that the account is not locked out. I also verified that each unsuccessful attempt to login to the domain PC does not register on the Bad Pwd Count tab. I then entered in a bunch of garble for the domain account
    and it did register bad login attempts so I know the domain is functioning correctly. I forced a gpupdate and I also forced a replication on the dc, still nothing.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am able to login to the computer using local accounts and Microsoft accounts, but no domain accounts.

    Since you did a refresh, then run Windows Update and install all updates. Try disconnect from domain and rejoin and check if problem persist or not.

  • I have a macbook pro with osx 10.8.2 and have the latest version of itunes. Whilst on itunes I realised that there was a shared library with musc on it. Is there a way I can download this music?

    Please help!

    You are seeing someone else's shared iTunes Library.
    Is there a way I can download this music?
    No, not without enabling Home Sharing, which would require using the same Apple ID and the other account holder's consent.

  • How to erase a Mac Pro for selling when you don't have the discs

    I have a Mac Pro 1,1 that I'd like to sell, so I need to remove all information from the HD, BUT none of the disc I have seem to work to install from.
    I have several Macs and so have a lot of discs.....but none of them will work when I restart holding down C, or Command + R.
    I have gone to Disc Utility and can't select the HD to erase, because it seems to be greyed out.
    I have on original discs:
    10.0
    10.4
    10.4.7
    10.5
    10.5.6
    10.6.3
    all discs I either got with Mac's or purchased...!
    What's the solution?
    All I want is to be able to sell the machine with some working OS on it?
    Thanks,
    Alan,

    Thanks Grant
    The 10.6.3 disc would be the best. You will need a wired keyboard plugged directly into a USB port on the chassis, not on a display or any Hub.
         I am using wired kb.
    If you hold down Alt/Option key at Startup, that should invoke the Startup Manager, and slowly draw an icon for each potentially bootable Volume. Choose the one you want and tell it to proceed.
         So, right after I hear the chime, I should hold down "option"? How long should this take? A few times the computer seemed to freeze when doing this, and I just held down the power button for 10 sec to start over (I had a grey screen for a few minutes)...other times, it seems to just bypass the whole option and just restart normally?
    Answer only the "what language" question and do not install. Wait for the menuBar to be drawn, then choose Disk Utility off a menu.
    Appreciate any other suggestions you may have, thanks,
    Alan.

  • NO profiles on Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center?

    Hello,
    We have one desktop and on laptop running windows 8.1.  We purchased two copies of Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro Pack and upgraded them to Windows 8.1 Pro.  After joining the domain, it seems to be working fine for one day.  Over the weekend,
    the user tried to log back on, it doesn't have any profiles.  Do a Ctrl+Alt+Del, there is nothing to enter the username/password.  It just have the left arrow.  When clicking on the left arrow, it goes back to the screen that says "Press
    Ctrl+Alt+Delete to sign in."  We have run chkdsk /f and look at the profile list in the registry and they look correct.  The only way to look in is using Safe Mode.  We have disable all the non-MS services and startup items and
    still have the same issue with NO profile and cannot log in.
    Also, in Safe Mode, we were able to leave the domain but still have the same issue.
    We have system image and try to restore it, it says something about not having an admin account.  Seems very strange since there are two admin accounts.
    We have other Windows 8.1 PRO (with NO media center) workstations joining the domain and do not have this issue.  This seems to happen Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center upgraded from 8.1.  We could reformat the drives and reinstall everything but
    it happens twice on one computer an once on the laptop.  It will probably happen again.
    Created new admin accounts, and enable the default administrator account but still cannot see anything in normal mode.
    Does anyone know how to fix this issue and know why this happened?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Did you mean the sign in input box without problem under Safe Mode?
    If yes, sign in with one administrator account to create a new administrator user in safe mode, and then boot into normal mode to check the result.
    If it could sign in the new user without problem, follow this guide to fix your another user profile.
    Fix a corrupted user profile
