    How do I fix this?


    I haven’t used my laptop in a couple months, how ever now that I am trying to use it, it comes up with a message saying “this sign in option is disabled because of failed sign in attempts or repeated shut down. Use a different sign-in method or keep your device on for at least 2 hours then try again.”I have waited 24 hours with my laptop on in sleep mode and the problem persists. I do not have the option to sign in with a different method and if i press I forgot my pin it comes up with a similar message.I am the only person with access to my laptop and don’t know how to fix this please help!!

    :)

    Hi,

    Thank your for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    Good to know that the issue is fixed. Appreciate your efforts.

    In future if you face any issues with Wireless connections, I suggest you to un-install and re-install wireless card drivers and check. Follow the steps:

    I would suggest you to un-install and re-install wireless card
    driver and check. Follow the steps.

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Select Device Manager.
    • Expand Network adaptor.
    Right click on the wireless card driver and click on Un-install.

    Now go to the manufacturer website of your

    Hope it helps.
