So this isn't like the other similar issues. I'm not locked out of my account.
I've changed my MS account password online and restarted my computer. After the restart it obviously didn't auto-login me like usual because the cached password was bad. So I re-enter the password and it works like it should except that now every time I restart I need to do it again. I get a yellow message informing me the password is incorrect, I type in my current password, I get logged on.
I've tried turning on the option to require password on wake up and then doing a restart cycle hoping that that would change the cached password but it didn't. As soon as I turn the option off the same symptoms appear.
I found a solution.
Try this first: Like Abdelhafid said, run control userpasswords2. Then tick the "Users must enter username and..." checkbox and click OK. Restart PC. Sign in. Open the same menu. Untick the box and hit apply. Hopefully you will be asked to reenter your password that will be used to sign in automatically.
If that didn't work, you can change your password from within windows to some temporary password, and then change it back. Throw in a restart in the middle for good measure. One caveat is that the online form to change the password is a bit more lenient and allows you to set simpler passwords. The one in windows has restrictions like mandatory uppercase and lowercase letters.
