Windows 10: Windows login: forgotten pin window doesn’t send a code to my email for recovering the pin.

Hi, I have forgotten my pin and I am trying to reset it. But the code that is supposed to be sent to my email for this is not being sent. I have checked the spam folder, tried multiple browsers for checking the email, tried multiple networks to connect the laptop to but with no success. I need support to reset the pin for login.Thanks!

Forgotten PIN and expired password

Hi Dyari,

Thanks for your answer.

I tried steps of both links:

• #1: reset PIN code
  
  • I see no link "reset your PIN"on login page --> I can't reset it
    
• #2: change or reset windows password
  
  • My Windows account is not displayed at all on login page.
    
  • I am using a local account
    

If you have any other suggestion, I would be more than happy to try.

Regards,

Guillaume
