    Creating or signing in to microsoft account

    Hi Gloria,

    The error code that your are getting when adding an account is usually caused by the following:

    • Your phone has an incorrect date and time set.
    • You do not have a data connection.
    • Your phone is in a "bad state."
    We suggest that you follow the steps on this link to set up your Microsoft
    Account on your device.

    Keep us posted for further assistance.

    Regards.

    Creating a Microsoft account PIN

    Hi B. Johnson，

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    If you are unable to create a PIN for your Microsoft account, you can try the following steps to troubleshoot the problem:

    1.Reset Microsoft Account: Try resetting your Microsoft account password. You can do this using a third-party device such as a cell phone, tablet, etc. by going to the Microsoft Account Recovery page and following the instructions to reset your password. After resetting the password, restart the computer and try creating the PIN again.

    2.I would suggest that you can refer to the steps in Start your PC in safe mode in Windows - Microsoft Support to start your computer in safe mode.

    Please create a new account in Safe Mode by following the steps below and see if the issue still persists under the new account.

    • Search for CMD, then run it in administrator mode and enter the following command:
    • After prompting the command to run successfully, enter the following command:
    Note: USERNAME PASSWORD can be replaced with your desired account name and password, if you don't need a password you can leave out PASSWORD.

    Restart your computer and log in to the system with the new account, if there is no problem under the new account, then bind your Microsoft account under the new account, if it can be successful, then this may be a malfunction of the account configuration file, please refer to the following article to transfer your information to the new account:Fix a corrupted user profile in Windows - Microsoft Support ((The steps for windows 11 are the same as windows 10, please refer directly to the steps for windows 10)

    Thank you for your patience and understanding, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave us a message.

    Best regards

    Help Removing Microsoft Account login


    Quite silly, you have screwed up this totally by yourself and start blaming Microsoft.

    To start with, when using a local account you don't have to switch to an MS account just to download apps from store. The correct procedure is told in this tutorial: Store - Sign in with Different Account in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums. That's your mistake number 1, proceeding without fist finding out what's the correct way to do it.

    The mistake number 2, totally, completely profoundly your own mistake and nothing to do with Microsoft was to delete the very same MS account you are currently using to sign in to Windows.

    Reinstall is my recommendation. If, and apparently when you do not know how to do this correctly here are a few tutorials I suggest you read first before proceeding:
