Kinda funny story.
I decided to back up my password manager. Hadn't backed it up since Feb. And Bear's crisis reminded me.
Anyway, I went to back up the password database (that is auto-opened at login) and back it up. The backup process asks for a password!!!!!!!
Yikes! What was it...think...try...think...try.
No luck.
So I went and opened the envelope where I keep the WRITTEN DOWN password to the password manager. Well I tried it and IT DID NOT WORK!!!
So I was about to copy all the stuff down that I could SEE, but had no print option for and no way to backup/export. But then I just decided to try the "change password" function. The written-down password WORKED for that one, so I was able to change the password. Once I did that, the export worked too.
So sometimes, the STUPID SOFTWARE doesn't work right even if you have the correct password written down!!!!!!

You can put your PWs in a file... but PRINT IT every time youI mean physically write, as in using a pencil or pen....but I get your drift...
make a change.
This file I'm (still) downloading is supposed to get me to a
menu where I can choose a restore point.
:/
I know you can get to that through some F-key on bootup.
I've tried 3, 5 8 and 12. Lots of other stuff, but no restore
point. Maybe a change in Win10.
Probably best to be nurse-maided by a tech support person.
"2 hours remaining".
That reminds me of last week where it took 4.5 hours to
DL the Win10 software.
Man... I hate this tablet.
love my tablet for reading but for going online - forget about it!
and no idea how people live with just a smart phone
I keep all my WRITTEN pwords in an index file hidden away so hubby and I are the only ones able to access.
Now, if a p/w changes, I simply cross the old one out, and WRITE the new one.....this method has worked for me since Day 1......printing, meh!

Nutshell:
MS tech support, not much help except to wipe the disk clean.
Took box to a local geek place... pulling all data files off the HD (I have
99% opf them on external anyway... but I NEED that 1%). Then reverting
to Win7.
ETA to have it back, Friday latest... probably Thursday.
See you all once I'm back up and running. Wave!
