Windows 10: Windows Lost My PIN

Hi, so my recent Windows 11 experience is truly incredible to me:Reboot computer as normal"Something happened and we've lost your SECURE PIN that makes signing in EASY AND SAFE"3rd time in 2 weeks you've managed that. No explanation. Just "something happened". Very insightful diagnosis.Demands me to enter my password, of course. Fine."We will send a code"...The account I'm signing in to is the exact same as the one you are sending the code to."Prove your identity to sign in to this account, by signing in to this account"Are you actually kidding me?Luckily I have this Outlook rubbish on my phon

Lost the ability to log into Windows 10 with PIN

Hi Przemyslaw,

Some system components may be missing or corrupted, causing the problem you are facing to occur. Before we can fully address this, please answer some things so we can understand this better:

• Did this start after updates were installed on the computer?
• Does the same situation happen when you add a pin as your sign-in option in Windows Settings?

Since you have tried adding the option in Control Panel, let's see if there will be a difference when we do it in Windows Settings. Follow these steps:

• Click on Start.
• Open Settings.
• Choose Accounts.
• Go to Sign-in options.
• Under PIN, click on Add.

You can also try the suggestions posted by John Rubdy on this

page.

Let us know if the steps above help you set up a PIN on your computer.

Regards.

 

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
