    Cant access sign in + forgot PIN


    I forgot my PIN but when I click "forgot my PIN" I got a grey box instead of the sign in asking for my my Microsoft acct info. I let the computer sleep overnight annd this morning I cant even get access to the sign in screen. It says PC did not start correctly. PC attemprs a repair but sats "your pc did not start correctly." Tried starting in Safe mode with same results. All I get us a blue screen with a QR code saying how to start in safe mode and the words: for more info visit www.microsoft.com/stopcode. If you call a support person give them this info Stop code BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO. He

  2. Remove sign in pin

    Hi Joel,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to remove the sign in pin/password options.

    • In the search box type sign-in-option.
    • Click on the sign-in-option.
    • Then you can find password/pin/picture password.
    • There you can remove the option and check.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
