Windows 10: How do I login to my PC when Windows threw a 0x8009002d error when I enter my pin?

Microsoft made be set up a PIN connected to my Microsoft account to login to my PC when I first installed Windows months ago. I entered the PIN today and got the error 0x8009002d “Something went wrong and your PIN isn’t available” I cannot reset the PIN because I do not have access to the recovery email that Microsoft insists sending a recovery code to. This means that Microsoft is now holding Windows on my PC hostage even though I have the current correct PIN and can login to the Microsoft account. How do I log in? I cannot wait 30 days to reset the recovery email. I need to use this computer

Signing in with pin does not work, gives error code 0x8009002d

Hi Nix,

A lot of users use PIN code to protect their devices from unauthorized access. However, users reported 0x8009002d error while trying to sign in to Windows 10 using a PIN code. Restarting your PC is a working workaround in correcting this issue.

If restarting your PC doesn't work, the next step to do is turning off Sleep mode and reset your PIN. There are reports that Sleep mode might be responsible for 0x8009002d error on Windows 10. To turn off Sleep mode, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows Key + S and enter "Power Options".
  
• Select Power Options from the results list.
• On your current plan, click the Change plan settings.
• Set Put the computer to sleep to Never and click
  Save changes.

Now, we need to reset your PIN by following these steps:

• Open the Settings app and go to Accounts >
  Sign-in options.
• Look for the PIN section and click the Remove button.
• The PIN section will ask you if you’re sure to remove your
  PIN. Click the Remove button to confirm.
• Enter your account password to verify your account and click OK,
  PIN should be removed.
• Click Add button in the PIN section to add a new
  PIN.
• Enter your new PIN twice and click the OK button to confirm.
• Restart your PC and sign in with your new PIN.
