Unable to RDP into my HyperV Windows 11 machine – Error 0xC000006D
Asked by

I've been connecting to my HyperV hosted Windows 11 machine for over two years without issues, but today I'm suddenly getting a login error. I'm prompted for my credentials via RDP, but no matter what I enter, I get a 'wrong password' message. I'm sure I'm using the right password! Oddly enough, I can connect to a cloned version of the same VM using the same credentials without any problems. Also, I can access the problematic machine using another computer with those credentials. This makes me think my personal laptop is at fault, but I can log into other VMs without issues. In the Event Viewer on the Windows 11 host, there's a login error showing code 0xC000006D. I've tried doing a system restore and using the PC name instead of the IP address, but nothing has worked. Since I have many applications set up on this VM, I'm hesitant to delete the local user account. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

It sounds like you might want to look at the security logs for any unusual activity. Sometimes accounts get locked in a way that doesn’t show as locked, which could cause those login errors you're seeing.

Try clearing the Credential Manager on your personal laptop. It might be trying to use incorrect saved credentials. As a workaround, see if you can RDP into your VM with a different account; if you don’t have one, create a test account directly on the VM.
