    I accidentally locked myself out of my laptop. The only way to log in is via PIN however I forgot it. My laptop is asking me to set up a new pin because my old PIN is too old. I can’t set up a new PIN with out needing to know my old one to confirm it.
     
  3. Locked pin on laptop

    My 3 yr old has entered the pin wrong several times on my laptop and it's locked. The 2 hours don't work and there's no forgotten pin option. Can anyone help. Even in regedit there's no passwordless folder

    Can't create pin for login. Pin stopped working

    Hi Kevin,

    To resolve your concern about creating pin to your computer, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Navigate to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC (click to get permission when prompted).
    • Delete the contents of that folder (delete everything in that folder, but leave that folder and everything above it).
    • Go back to settings, accounts, sign in options.
    • Your non-working pin will now be gone, and you can just click 'add a pin' and set it again.

    Let us know how it goes.
