  1. How can I reset a forgotten Windows login password


    Not my microsoft account password. I login to windows using a pin. I have the pin, and I can login to windows, but when I try to connect to the PC from another device, it asks me for a password. I have no idea what that password is. How can I reset that password?

    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
