“The specified network password is not correct”

Q: When I use remote desktop to access desktop in the office, I received this message: “The specified network password is not correct”. The password is correct. Both machiens are running Windows 10. What could be the problem?

chicagotech.net: There are many people report the same problem. Try these:

  1. Make sure both computers have correct time.
