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.

 

I need a PIN to sign in, but never created one and can't create one because I need a PIN in order to do so?

Hi, Jazeps

Welcome to the MicroSoft Community.



I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble creating a PIN for your Xbox account.

Here are some steps you can follow to create a PIN:

• Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
  
• Go to Profile & system > Settings > Account > Sign-in, security & PIN > Create my PIN.
  
• Enter a 6-digit PIN, and then re-enter the PIN to confirm.
  

If you've forgotten your PIN and can't access restricted console features, follow these steps:

• When you're prompted to enter your PIN on the console, enter any 6-digit combination three times.
  
• Enter your Microsoft account password when prompted.
  
• Select Make a new PIN.
  
• Enter a new PIN, and then enter it again to confirm.
  

If you're still having trouble, it might be a good idea to reach out to Xbox customer support for further assistance. If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.
