    Cannot use my PIN

    Having spent far too long on this I forced myself to abandon it. I've instead removed the need for both pin AND password. On this solo-use PC that presents no significant security risk.

    For curiosity, academic interest and in case I ever decide to return to pin use, I'd still be interested to hear from anyone who has resolved the problem or has any further practical advice about it please.
