    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.

    I need a PIN to sign in, but never created one and can't create one because I need a PIN in order to do so?

    Hi, Jazeps

    Welcome to the MicroSoft Community.



    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble creating a PIN for your Xbox account.

    Here are some steps you can follow to create a PIN:

    • Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    • Go to Profile & system > Settings > Account > Sign-in, security & PIN > Create my PIN.
    • Enter a 6-digit PIN, and then re-enter the PIN to confirm.
    If you've forgotten your PIN and can't access restricted console features, follow these steps:

    • When you're prompted to enter your PIN on the console, enter any 6-digit combination three times.
    • Enter your Microsoft account password when prompted.
    • Select Make a new PIN.
    • Enter a new PIN, and then enter it again to confirm.

    If you're still having trouble, it might be a good idea to reach out to Xbox customer support for further assistance. If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.



    Best Regards
