Windows 10: Asking for (forgotten) password when I usually use a PIN

After the latest windows update I ran into an error (memory management : rapportKE64(.sys I think) )

It's trying to boot into the automatic system recovery but it's asking for my password, there is no option to change to PIN like in the usual Windows login.

I have a bootable USB stick with Ubuntu on it so I can get access to the HDD.

Is there any way to get the input changed to a PIN instead?

forgotten pin

Hi,

I'm going around in circles here.

I want to download Windows Draw.

I'm asked for my PIN - I have absolutely no memory of ever setting a PIN.

I click on "I have forgotten my PIN"

I'm asked to sign In, but I am already signed in.

My contact phone number has changed so that won't work.

I go to the site suggested;

I'm asked for my PIN - I have absolutely no memory of ever setting a PIN.

I click on "I have forgotten my PIN"

I'm asked for details of my age etc.

An automated response come back saying I haven't provided the right data!

I still want to download Windows Draw.

Argghhhhh
