  1. How do I change my Challenge Phrase for my login on my computer?


    My sister decided to try and break into my laptop, and she got the PIN wrong several times. A challenge phrase popped up, and I have no clue what it is. Is there any way for me to remove and/or change the challenge phrase so I can use my PIN again?
    All answers help, serious answers only please. Thank you for taking your time out of your day to help me.

    Hi Vowing2693,

    I'm Charles, an Independent advisor trying to help.

    I can suggest you disable the login screen and re-enable it again, this way it runs:

    1.- Press the Windows key + R >> Execute command.

    2.- Write >> netplwiz + Enter.

    3.- In the tab >> User Accounts >> Select your user >> Uncheck, users must enter a username and password to use this computer.

    4.- Click on Apply.

    5.- Define your password, confirm it >> Click on OK.

    6.- Restart your PC and perform the steps again, but this time, to enable login with a password.

    7.- Restart your PC again and see if the challenge phrase would still appear.

    Additional you can consult some recommended answers for this inconvenience of the MVP Advisor Greg Carmack..

    I hope the information is useful

    Happy day

    Best Regards,

    Charles.

    How do you change the challenge phrase?

    My kids have worked out the answer and login to my computer this way. I can not find where this can be changed on the PC or Microsoft account.

    Challenge phrase requested on every boot up

    Hello,

    Just to verify, can you tell us the build version of your Windows operating system? In the mean time, what we can suggest is to disable the log-in screen and re-enable it again. To do this, follow these steps:

    • Press Windows key + R to launch the
      Run
      command.
    • Type netplwiz and press Enter.
    • On the User Accounts window, select your username and uncheck Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
    • Click Apply.
    • Type your Password twice and click OK.
    • Restart your PC and redo the steps in reverse to enable the sign in with password again.
    • Restart your PC again and see if the challenge phrase would still occur.

    Let us know the outcome.
