Contact your admin for assistance with recovery email issues. I am in my first IT role here at small company who uses the Office 365 suite. I change the password in Admin Center and a few hours later, for the end user, it says the password is incorrect. I've tested it several times to ensure it wasn't user error and imaged a new device with the same account and it still had the same issues. Just looking for some help as my superiors aren't that helpful.
Why do I need a recovery email for password resets?
We see businesses run into this problem all the time, and it’s a real pain when you can’t get into your email, Teams, or any other Microsoft 365 service. Let’s run through some quick checks, common fixes, and a few advanced tricks so you can get back to what you need to do. We’re sorry, but we cannot change your password at this time. If you are using an outdated web browser or Office app, it can create compatibility issues, which eventually lead to Microsoft 365 sign-in problems.
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting for Microsoft Office 365 Login Issues
Modern authentication boosts security, but sometimes it stops the password prompt from popping up in Office apps. In some cases on Windows 11 or 10, switching back to legacy authentication does the trick. Microsoft has a built-in sign-in troubleshooter that can spot and fix common authentication problems. This tool comes in handy for Windows 11, where new authentication settings or local setup quirks might get in the way.
Unable to sign in to Office 365 (even with correct password)
Why can't I reset my Office 365 password? <br><br>
When resetting your Microsoft 365 password, it's important to update it across all devices linked to your account. Start by signing out of all Microsoft-related apps on your devices, such as Outlook, Teams, or OneDrive. After resetting your password, sign back into these apps one by one using your new credentials. On mobile devices, ensure your mail and calendar apps are updated with the new password to avoid synchronization issues. For easier management, consider using a password manager to securely store and sync your credentials across devices.
Can I reset my password through the Microsoft Authenticator app?
The issue was with AD Connect it had reverted to using one of RODCs.Sometimes, a different layout will mess up special characters in your password.They can reset your password directly or provide further troubleshooting resources.If recovery fails, double-check your entered details and retry.Set up a personal or alternate email in your account’s security settings to enable seamless recovery when needed.If clearing credentials doesn’t do the trick, your Office installation might be corrupted.
The tool gives you results and fixes what it can automatically. If you need to make manual changes, it’ll give you clear steps to follow. This usually forces Office 365 to ask for your credentials again, which can clear up the problem.
Fix #8. Dealing with a Hacked or Compromised Account
Run it, follow the instructions, and let it scan for issues with cached tokens, registry settings, or system policies. Even if your credentials are fine, your Microsoft 365 account won’t work if your subscription is inactive or your license isn’t set up right. A user who recently had an administrator reset their password can't sign in to on-premises Active Directory by using the new password. If your subscription has expired, your account is disabled, or your IT admin has blocked your account, in all these cases, you would not be able to log in to your account. If clearing credentials doesn’t do the trick, your Office installation might be corrupted.

Switch to a Local Windows Account
In business settings, group policies and conditional access rules can cause problems, too. Restrictions on device compliance, location, or sign-in risk might block you even if your password is correct. If your account is disabled or unlicensed, you won’t be able to get in until an admin fixes it. Expired subscriptions or suspended accounts are often behind these issues. On Windows, head to Credential Manager, remove any saved Office 365 entries, then try signing in again.
