Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Symptoms -
When joining a system to a homegroup, you may receive the following error message "The password is incorrect", even though you have typed the password correctly.

Cause -
This can be caused by a difference in the Date and Time settings on the computer trying to join the homegroup, and not an invalid password. If the date/time of the computer joining a homegroup is greater than 24 hours apart from the date/time of the system that owns the homegroup, this will cause the error.

Resolution -
Adjust the date/time settings on the system joining the homegroup, to match the system that owns the homegroup, and then try to join again.
