Login password not accepted after upgrading to 8.1

I've tried my hotmail p/w; every other p/w I've ever used or written down. Tells me to go to account.live.com. Great, but how do I get there if I can't get online? So frustrated. Do not have another device, phone, xbox to use to problem solve. Appreciate all help. Lidna

..You can get online on another computer, such as the one you posted on here from, correct?

You will want to contact microsoft at this point with some sort of proof of purchase of your operating system if you need to bypass that windows login password.
