Symptoms
When joining a system to a homegroup, you may receive the following error message “The password is
incorrect”, even though you have typed the passwordcorrectly.
Cause
This can be caused by a difference in the Date and Time settings on the computer trying to join the homegroup,
and not an invalid password. If the date/time of the computer joining a homegroup is greater than 24 hours
apart from the date/time of the system that owns the homegroup, this will cause the error.
Resolution
Adjust the date/time settings on the system joiningthe homegroup, to match the system that owns the
homegroup, and then try to join again.
So, proposed answer A is correct
