Hi Alan,

Have you tried removing your email completely off the Surface Pro? If so, I would do that first and try setting it up again with the password you believe is correct. Also, when removing the account make sure to close out of everything and turn off your Surface Pro off and back on. In other words a soft reset.

If that does not work then my next suggestion would be to reset your password. You will have to enter that password into both devices afterwards but it should fix the issue.

Let me know if that works,
