In one of my posts I said that my USB keyboard stopped working. My laptop is asking me to create a Pin. I can't create a Pin because my keyboard doesn't work. Is there anything I can do

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.

 

Using Pin to sign on continues to fail

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that you have an issue with signing in to User Account using PIN.

I will surely help you to fix this issue.

This issue could have occurred due to corrupt User Account.

I suggest you to create a new User Account and try to create a PIN for it. Check if you can login to that User Account using PIN.

To create a new User Account follow these steps:

• Click on Start.
• Click on Settings.
• Type ‘Add, delete and manage other user accounts’ in search box.
• Now click on ‘Add someone else to this pc’.
• And follow the instructions to create a new User Account.

Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.
