    This is a strange one, when I go to put my password in it says your PC is off-line please sign in with the last password used on this PC. Now I know what my password is, because I can log into my Windows live account on my other PCs. The only thing I can think is that I'm not on Wi-Fi right now but that shouldn't matter.

    You either used a user ID that you made up or created a .NET account that sinks with Microsoft.

    Two account types for Windows 8 RT.

    1. A local account

    2. A Microsoft based account where your user ID is your email address

    Examples:

    1. jjohnson

    2. jjohnson@hotmail.com, or whatever email address you elected

    Is your CAPS LOCK ON PERHAPS?

    So I am back home and on Wi-Fi and can login just fine. So the surface doesn't cash my password when I leave from a Wi-Fi network?

    The problem that I am having is that movies I rent will not transfer from Xbox to surface and vice versa. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    I had a problem with my WiFi when I was setting up too! Surface wouldn't log me into anything or activate for a while. I changed networks and everything started working again.
    Try out my first Windows 8 app, ModernCalc! It's free and I would love to hear your feedback!

    Phones: Nokia Lumia 928, HTC Windows Phone 8x, HTC Trophy
    PMP: Zune HD 32, Zune 80, Zune 4, Zune 30, Ipod Nano 2nd gen (x4), Ipod touch 16gb 2nd gen
    Tablet: Surface for Windows RT

    I have the exact same problem! I can't log back in! I will need to drive 40 miles to my office so I can be on the same wifi network I was on when I last logged on!

    Perhaps setting up a picture password will help prevent this from happening in the future (or until an update patches it?)
