  1. Changing PIN on Windows 10.


    I am currently trying to change my local PIN. I am unable to do so because it states under Windows Hello Pin that "This option is currently unavailable" and "Sorry - this PIN isn't working for your organizations resources. Tap or click here to fix it."


    https://pasteboard.co/ICyza00.png [How the Window Hello Pin is blanked out]


    When I attempt to fix it by clicking the link, I am directed to login into my Microsoft account, in which they state that I am not allowed to use a personal account. Do note that this is a personal laptop and my old local PIN is still in place that was set up two years ago with my personal account.


    I have attempted to delete the Ngc file using the Command Prompt in which I was turned back with Access Denied.


    Anyone know how I can change my PIN? I've been scouring the web and have not found any success. Thanks a ton.

    :)

    Changing PIN on Windows 10.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
