    Cannot use Lenovo Gaming Pc due to lost password and pin.


    My son created a new Microsoft account on his Lenovo Legion laptop, which he has not used for about 4 months. Unfortunately, he does not remember any of his sign-in details. And since he does not have access to the email associated with the account, he cannot reset it. We have tried submitting a ticket to Microsoft, but it keeps getting rejected because we cannot provide enough information, other than his name, birthday, and email. Any suggestions on how to either reset or remove this account and reinstate on the pc the one we had originally created for him?

    :)

  2. 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
