Can't login on Tablet

The icon on the bottom left says my tablet isn't connected to my wifi, but when I click on it the wifi options open and I see, that my tablet has 4 bars, therefore good internet. Further I can't login on my tablet. I did reset my password of my microsoft account twice, but nothing has changed.
Thanks for quick answers :)

Welcome to the forum
I may be no help on the login problem but your Surface is telling you you are connected to the router. That does not mean you are connected to the Internet. My first suggestion would be to power cycle the router then forget the connection and try again.

Thank you
I tried to restart my router and reconnect my tablet, but the icon in the lower left still says its not connected, despite what the wlan tab saying its already connected.
Checked my password again, still can't login.
Alternatively, is there a way to reset the tablet?

If you have another connected PC try opening a command prompt and do an "ipconfig /all" to see if the gateway and DNS info are the same.

Pretty odd. Open the cmd prompt on your Surface and type "ping 8.8.8.8" See if you get a response.
