Hello.

I'm having a problem when Signing In my Microsoft Account on my PC. On the Action Center, it says that I should Sign in with my most recent Microsoft account password (since I actually did changed my password). However when I click Sign In, nothing happens.

See Image for visual: http://i.imgur.com/2Qp7DpO.jpg

Other Notes:
- I've purchased Windows 8 last year, and I noticed this issue just now
- My PC states that my Windows 8 is activated
- I also can't see the 'Personalization' on the Registry Editor/regedit to change my Lock/Log-In Screen
- Nothing happens whenever I click Change PC Settings

Does anyone know how to deal with this?

Hi,

Please try the following method to resolve this problem for test:

Just go to "Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\Credential Manager" and:
Select "Windows Credentials"
Go down to "Generic Credentials" and select "MicrosoftAccount:user=<user_name>" (where <user_name> should be your user name);
Click "Edit";
Change the password and press "Save";
