Signing in with pin does not work, gives error code 0x8009002d

Hi Nix,

A lot of users use PIN code to protect their devices from unauthorized access. However, users reported 0x8009002d error while trying to sign in to Windows 10 using a PIN code. Restarting your PC is a working workaround in correcting this issue.

If restarting your PC doesn't work, the next step to do is turning off Sleep mode and reset your PIN. There are reports that Sleep mode might be responsible for 0x8009002d error on Windows 10. To turn off Sleep mode, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows Key + S and enter "Power Options".
  
• Select Power Options from the results list.
• On your current plan, click the Change plan settings.
• Set Put the computer to sleep to Never and click
  Save changes.

Now, we need to reset your PIN by following these steps:

• Open the Settings app and go to Accounts >
  Sign-in options.
• Look for the PIN section and click the Remove button.
• The PIN section will ask you if you’re sure to remove your
  PIN. Click the Remove button to confirm.
• Enter your account password to verify your account and click OK,
  PIN should be removed.
• Click Add button in the PIN section to add a new
  PIN.
• Enter your new PIN twice and click the OK button to confirm.
• Restart your PC and sign in with your new PIN.

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

 

Can't create pin for login. Pin stopped working

Hi Kevin,

To resolve your concern about creating pin to your computer, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Navigate to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC (click to get permission when prompted).
• Delete the contents of that folder (delete everything in that folder, but leave that folder and everything above it).
• Go back to settings, accounts, sign in options.
• Your non-working pin will now be gone, and you can just click 'add a pin' and set it again.

Let us know how it goes.
