Forgotten PIN

Hi sumit,

I have only my outllook account linked to my laptop.

I’m not sure if you understand the issue. I’ve forgotten the PIN we enter when we turn on our laptop. Previously there was option to forgot password but then the recovery phone number provided was no longer in use. So i changed the security email and waited 30 days. Now after 30 days, when I tried to reset the password it says too much wrong attempts and there is no option of forgot password and sign in options. I’m afraid to put in any guess pin. I’m afraid it will lock and all my data inside would be locked as well.

Any help?
