Unable to setup Windows Hello, error: incorrect pin

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

May I know the complete error code or error message that you are receiving when you try to setup Windows Hello?

Do you have any other user account on the computer?

If yes, does Windows Hello work on that account?

If Windows Hello is not setup on other account, please setup it up and check if it works so that we can narrow down the issue for you.

I suggest to remove the pin and setup a new pin on the child account and check if it works with Windows Hello.

Please follow the steps below to remove and re-add the PIN:

• Press Windows logo key + I to open Settings.
  
• Select Accounts.
  
• Click on Sign-in options.
  
• Under PIN, remove the pin. There will be prompt to enter password, enter the password and removed the PIN.
  
• After the pin is removed, please click on
  Add to setup pin for the account.
  
• After setting up a new PIN, try to set up Windows Hello.
  

Hope it helps.

Windows 11 - Windows hello PIN and Camera face recognition do not work

Hi,

Windows 11 - Windows hello PIN and Camera face recognition do not work, for both of them, when reaching the final step, the window closes before saying completed, and nothing happens

Steps to replicate on my PC - WIN 11:

1. Situation 1 - Trying to change PIN:
   
   1. Settings - Accounts - Pin(Windows Hello)
      
   2. Although i'm currently using a PIN to log into my user, I only get 1 button: Setup
      
   3. Press Setup - Create a PIN - Next
      
   4. Making sure it's you - I add my PIN - Just a moment - the window closes, nothign happens
      
2. Situation 2 - Trying to add Face recognition:
   
   1. Settings - Accounts - Facial recognition (Windows Hello) - Setup
      
   2. Welcome to Windows hello - Get started
      
   3. My face is scanned, i get a blue loading square, and dots on my things
      
   4. A couple more things
      
   5. Improbve recognition - if i skip this steps it does not make a difference
      
   6. A couple more things - Set up PIN
      
   7. Microsoft Account - Create a PIN - Next
      
   8. Making sure it's you - I add my PIN - Just a moment - the window closes, nothign happens
      

I initially thought my webcam was the issue, but then chaging the PIN does not work either, and it has nothing to do with the camera

I talked with someone from support (support request number is 1056162110), and we tried different things until 3:30 AM my time, about 1:30 h.

On my laptop (win 10) with the same account, face recognition and PIN works, I have not tried to change them.

Is there any way to reset PIN on an account level? Or repair windows?

What else should i try?

 

PIN and Windows Hello

Hi, E.P. Santos

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.



I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing with your PIN and Windows Hello on your computer. I understand how frustrating it can be when you're unable to access your device.

To address this issue, let's try a few troubleshooting steps:

1. Reset the Windows Biometrics Service:
   
   Stop biometric service:
   
   • Press Windows + R at the same time to open the Run dialog box and type services.msc.
     
   • Select 'Windows Biometrics Service'.
     
   • Right-click the service and select Stop from the list that appears.
     
   
   Back up the previous database:
   
   • Open Windows Explorer.
     
   • Go to
     
     
   • Copy and paste the .dat file into the newly created folder.
     
   Deleting the old database:
   
   • Open Windows Explorer.
     
   • Go to
     
     
   • Delete the .dat file.
     
   
   Start the biometric service:
   
   • Press Windows + R simultaneously to open the Run dialog box and type services.msc.
     
   • Select 'Windows Biometrics Service'.
     
   • Right-click on it and select Start from the list that appears.
     
   
   2. Delete the NGC folder
   
   • Search for 'cmd' in the start menu
     
   • Run 'Command Prompt' as administrator and enter the following command:
     
   • Navigate to the path below and delete all the contents of this folder.
     
   3. Try resetting the Pin: you can try resetting Windows Hello to see if that resolves the problem. To do this, go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options > Windows Hello (PIN) > Remove. After removing the Windows Hello PIN, restart your computer and set up a new PIN.
   

If the issue persists after trying these steps, please provide us with more information about your device, such as the make and model, as well as any recent changes or updates that may have occurred before the problem started.

Thank you for your patience, and I'll do my best to assist you further.
