Windows 10: Bypassing Setup PIN on Startup

I had to reset my son’s pc, and boot in safe mode. Now when I turn it on it tells me the pin needs to be reset but when you click on the reset pin a box quickly flashes on the screen and disappears leaving me nowhere to reset the pin. Is someone able to tell me how to get around this so I can turn off the pin on start up request in windows?

Bypassing Win 10 login PIN/password from startup

The original question posed by

Bypassing Win 10 login PIN/password from startup

I inherited a laptop running Win 10 (64 bit) with a single User Admin account, for which I have no information on how to get into it. All the online suggestions I have come across start from already being into the system, (e.g. Win+R, regedit, etc.). Even forced restarting to get to the Automatic Recovery screen only takes me as far as the User Name, and then prompting for a password which I don't have.

As a pensioner I am asking for baby steps guidance past this issue, please.

Regards,

Miles

• This option shows me how to obtain the Windows Media Creation Tool ()
  
• The next two options (shown below) ALSO show me how to get/use the Windows Media Creation Tool
  
• None of these options address the question I posed: how to get into a laptop for which I have no password.
  
• I have copied above my original question for reference. I will now try to restate the issue I need help with, as follows:
  
  • I inherited a laptop from its original owner
    
  • It is a Windows 10 (64 bit) system with a single User/Administrator account.
    
  • For clarity let’s call it “User Name”
    
  • Neither the original buyer nor I have a PIN or a password to be able to get into it
    
  • When powering up I am asked for a PIN or a password, which I do not have.
    
  • All attempts to get around this obstacle end up back at the “User Name” and prompting for a password, like an endless circular reference.
    
  • I need to know if there is any way to get around this obstacle FROM A STARTUP POSITION. Solutions so far offered only work if you are already in the laptop, not just trying to get in.
    
  • Is it possible to fix this?
    
  • I am willing to start from scratch by formatting the HDD and reinstalling the OS, if only I can access the machine.
    
• Please advise.
  

 

How can I bypass the PIN to access my laptop

Good afternoon,

I have a new HP laptop. When I add my email and password to log in, the next step is to create a pin.

I click next to create a pin and receive the following message "Something went wrong ... We weren't able to set up your PIN. You can try again, or skip this step and set up a PIN later."

When I "skip this step," it brings me back to the login and I repeat the steps again.

I cannot bypass this step to log in.

How can I bypass this step? Please respond with step by step instructions. Thank you.

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?
