Forgot PIN with No Other Log-In Options

I am attempting to log-in to my PC. However, I forgot the PIN. I entered too many incorrect PINs, and now, to attempt to enter a PIN again, I have to enter the A1B2C3 challenge phrase. Once I do that, the PC presents me with the blank PIN field, and nothing else. I do not know my PIN, and there are no other options to log-in, like the normally present "I forgot my PIN" below the empty field. The only clickable items are in the bottom right corner, which are, from left to right: change keyboard, WiFi, accessibility, and power options. I have been unsuccessful in finding out how to change a device-specific PIN from the Microsoft website through my Microsoft account. So, my question is: how do I log-in to my PC when the only option given is the PIN which I forgot?

 

Log-in Pin is incorrect after Anniversary update


I had the same issue after my update on Windows 10. I knew that my pin hadn't changed but it was saying it was incorrect. So I said that I forgot my pin and it started going through the steps to reset the pin entered my regular password and when the window popped up to set a new pin I said cancel and then I chose the option to set my pin later. I exited the screen, logged off logged back in, and set up a new pin which happened to be the same pin I had before and it worked. If this still doesn't work I can show step by step screen shots if you need. I have a surface 3 with Windows 10 fully updated 10.0.14393.0

 

Forgot pin and forgot password to laptop

On behalf of an elderly gentleman. He’s forgotten his password and since the new update his laptop requires a pin, which he didn’t know and has been entered too many times, so we have the whole A1B2C3 popping up with no option to say forgot pin. We have changed the password to his Microsoft account, but still haven’t managed to log into his laptop. Please help! I have no idea how to help him and so far everyone has given up.
