For example, if a user's AD password is pass1 and sets their MDE password to pass2. pass2 will allow them to log in to MDE pre-boot authentication (PBA). At the windows login prompt user then enters pass1 (their AD password) and successfully authenticates to AD. Once this occurs pass1 overwrites their MDE password pass2. pass2 will no longer work for MDE PBA. If user attempts to use pass2 for MDE PBA the account will lock with timeouts. This is also the case if there is a change made to the AD password. The new AD password will not work for MDE until it's updated and will cause passwords and accounts to lock out. |
