  1. My computer is now locked after HP try to repair Windows not updating


    My windows was not updating properly on my HP computer. An HP tech remoted in and when he restarted my computer it says my pin is no longer available due to a change in the security settings on this device. Click to set up your PIN again. When I click on set up my pin Microsoft says it will send a code to my email but it does not send a code. How can I unlock this computer

    :)

    • Do let us know the make and model of your computer?
    • Have you installed HP simple pass software on your computer?

    Try the below steps and check if it helps.

    Follow the steps to Access Recovery Manager:

    • Press Start button from the keyboard, type Recover Manager.
    • Select Recovery Manager from the list when it becomes available. Allow the action to continue, if prompted. The
      HP Recovery Manager opens.
