  2. Changed my PIN !!! But can sign into the PC with the old one... while the new one can be used in the old PIN column in the change pin option to create a new PIN again.. !!! what is going on !!??

    Hi,

    I am using windows 10... Today, I remember changing my PIN in the sign in options of my PC !! The new PIN had one number in addition to the old PIN !! So anyway, I then browsed on facebook for a while, changed the facebook password, etc... And when I restarted
    my PC, and when I typed the PIN while signing in, the PC opened before I typed the new additional number !! ie, the PC opened to the old PIN number !!! I restarted again.... and the same thing happened !! I got confused whether I changed the PIN or not !!!
    So, I decided to change my PIN number, and in the old PIN column in the change pin option, I typed the new one I had created to see if it shows an error when creating another PIN using that one... !! But the PIN with the additional number got considered as
    the old PIN and I created a new PIN using it as the old one !!!! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE ?? I mean, which is the right PIN then ??? The latest one got considered as the PIN when I changed it again... but when I try to sign into the PC, the older one is accepted
    !! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING !!!?????? Is my PC compromised or something ???

  3. Can't create pin for login. Pin stopped working

    Try the steps here:

    • Navigate to PC Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in options. Click on I forgot my PIN link.
    • Next, click on the Continue button in the Are you sure you forgot your PIN? screen.
    • You can now add a new PIN and click OK.
