Hi, I have a pin and password. I remember my pin just fine but I have never used the password before, yet I still have a password option. Could I check what the password is so I can access other of my passwords?

Assuming this is your Microsoft password, just do a forgot my password and change it.

Not enough information as to the issue as well there are limitations to what we can help with regarding passwords.

Please describe in detail and if have to upload screen shots.

I'm trying to run a RDP. But to run a rdp I have to enter credentials.
I'm just asking if it's possible to see my current password.

Look under settings and Accounts. If there is an email address there it is a MS account.

If it says Local account then that is different.

 

Tell us which one you have.

Email Address.

Then you have a MS account and can change it online like I posted before.
