RDP to Windows 10

Yeah I heard someone else say this but I have never found a linux client to connect to a RDP session with NLM enabled. What is your client software?

Someone mentioned above that Remmina can do it.

Yes, Remmina is what I am using.

There is only one difference that I can think of here -

Webroot

But that doesn't seem likely as I'm getting the response that the UserID/Password is incorrect. If it was Webroot it wouldn't even get that far.

Which I thought uses FreeRDP, which in turn I thought was stalled in terms of modern RDP compatibility. I really wish there was an RDP client that supports RDP 10, or even 8.2

So sitting here,.. I figure, okay, lets change the existing password. Maybe re-entering it will 'clear' the issue.

This is when I read the MS lock screen WORDING.

It doesn't say password. is say PIN. Enter your PIN. So,.. What IS the current password? Very.Good.Question....

This is a simple case of MS trying to make things easier - and thusly making them more confusing. So - lets see if I can't rebuild/ reset the PASSWORD.

I deal with this problem almost daily.

I can't remember my username? why not? uh, because it's always just there - well clearly not always, because it's not there now.

Since I am not able to recall my password, but have the PIN, I signed in, started CMD as Administrator and ran:

net user USERNAME password

problem solved. RDP connected.

Good thing you weren't following best practices and logged in as an admin account
