Windows 10: Can't Use PIN Due to "Organization" Rules But I'm the Only Admin

I've been using Windows for 30 years and there is something definitely corrupted with my login setup or Microsoft is once again trying to force my PC to do something I didn't ask it to do. As background, Lenovo swapped out my motherboard and in the process reset my Windows product key which created all types of problems. After that was eventually resolved, I can no longer use the PIN login option. When I try to set it up it says "Sorry, this PIN isn't working for your organization's resources. Tap or click here to fix it."For starters, I purchased my PC with my own money and am the ONLY Adm

outlook redirect/forwarding rule

Hey so I would try to do this on the Exchange server itself by Transport rule instead. Give this a shot.

Scenario 1

1. 1. Login to the Exchange Management Console and expand Organization Configuration on the left.
2. 2. In the middle pane, choose "Transport Rules", then over in the right pane, choose "New Transport Rule."
3. 3. Give it name, then on the conditions page, check "from users that are inside or outside the organization" and "sent to people."
4. Underneath set "from users that are Outside the organization" and sent to "pick Mailbox1"
5. Hit Next the on the Actions page, check "redirect the message to addresses" and underneath set redirect the message to "pick Mailbox2"

Review the rule. It should look like:

Apply rule to messages

from users that are "Outside the organization"

and sent to "Mailbox 1"

redirect the message to "Mailbox 2"



7. Next, Next, then New to deploy it.

Scenario 2

1. Create the External Mail Contact (Expand Recipient Configuration on the left side pane, then select "Mail Contact."
2. In the right most pane, choose "New Mail Contact"
3. Leave New Contact selected, then hit next.
4. Enter Name details and an Alias like "external", then hit edit to the right of "External email address" and enter the target address like "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***"
5. Next, then New.
6. Now go back to create a new Transport rule
7. It will look the same as Scenario 1, but with the Scenario2 details so like below

Apply rule to messages

from users that are "Inside the organization"

and sent to "Mailbox 1"

redirect the message to "External mail contact"

Make sure both rules are enabled and you're good.

Hope this helps

-Good luck

 

Can't reset my PIN

Hi SQxAe,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Were there any changes made to the operating system recently?
   
2. Is the system connected with Wired or wireless connection?
   

If you are using wireless connection, I suggest you to plug in to the Ethernet cable and try entering the password. I also suggest you to change the Microsoft password by login to
login.live.com from other device. Try entering the password through
on-screen keyboard.

I also suggest you to enable build-in admin account using command prompt from WinRE, follow the below steps, and check if that helps.

Step: Enable built-in admin from WinRE.

1. On the login screen click on the power button at the bottom right corner of the screen.
2. Hold Shift key and click on restart.
3. Click on Troubleshoot.
4. Click on Advanced options.
5. Click on Command Prompt.
6. Type the command net user administrator /active:yes and press Enter key.
7. Once logged in to the built in admin account, try changing the current user account password.

If you are unable to change the password for the account, I suggest you to create a new user account. Follow the steps from the article to create a new user account

Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10

I also suggest you to refer this article on
PIN sign-in issues, and check if that helps.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,
