Windows 10 Windows Account Password not Syncing to Windows 10 Computers

[Clinton J Wooton]

I have an office 365 subscription with six Windows 10 computers all running version 10.0.18363. Last week I changed the Microsoft Account Password which is used to access: https://accounts.microsoft.com/, Office365 and to manage logon to six Windows 10 computers that are attached to my MS Account. Four of the six computers synced the new passwords. IE: I must use the new password to logon to those computers. Two of the computers did not, I must still use the OLD (previous) password to logon to them.

For trouble shooting I have:

1. Checked for updates.
2. Rebooted the two Windows 10 computers version 10.0.18363
3. Logged into both computers, performed a manual - SYNC Your Settings
4. Rebooted again
5. Logged into Sign in to your Microsoft account and REMOVED the two computers that are not syncing the MS Account Password
6. Logged back into the TWO computers that the password did not sync on and attempted to ADD back to MS Account. Both computers still believe they are attached to the MS Account. I cannot add them back?
7. I have downloaded the Windows account troubleshooter and run the utility. It reports that both computers are fine.

All six of my computers are connected to the same physical private IPv4 LAN. The computers are NOT connected via WiFi.


I need some help resolving this issue as I need to use the new password across all computers for security reasons and I really do not want to have to remember what the old password was forever.
