Hello All!
Thank you in advance for the resolution to my issue. I've recently installed vmware workstation 10 trial onto my computer which is Vista and I'm trying to P2V my windows 8.1 desktop as a test and it's prompting for a username and password. Now I login to my W8 machine using my microsoft account and use a pin to login, not a password. So far I've been unsuccessful at getting it to start as it fails with unknown username or bad password. I attempted to use administrator and the only password I could have used, I tried the microsoft account and pin/password and nothing seems to work.
Is there some other method that I can get this to work? I was unable to find anything in the communities regarding this.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Thank you again!
Peace!
I did P2V of my W 8.1 and I use Microsoft login as well. I provided credentials using standard format: PC-NAME\USERNAME with password. Worked like a charm.
You need to use an administratirve account of your machine in order to conver it.
Thanks for the advice guys, but as stated I've tried my Microsoft account and the administrator account, which is a local account I've setup previously and I'm unable to get it to verify correctly.
Also as stated, I use a pin to login for my account and starting to wonder if that might be the issue.
I will change my login method back to using a password and see where I get with that.
If anyone else has any other tips or has encountered this, please let me know.
Thanks and have a great day!
Peace.
