  1. I am locked out of my computer due to mis-typing my pin number? How do I get back in?


    I mis-typed my pin number several times and now I am locked out of my computer. The message tells me to go to account.live.com to reset the pin but I can't get into my computer so how is that suppose to happen? I am on another computer now but do not know how to access changing my pin on my locked out computer. Suggestions please!

    :)

  2. number lock


    Changing the registry values that you suggested, danstra1, shouldn't do anything drastic at all, just go in, do that and get out. Unfortunately this is only a temporary fix, because as soon as my screensaver comes on, or my computer goes to sleep and wakes back up, num lock is back off again, right when I need it to be on to put my PIN in! Funny thing is sometimes it tricks me and lets me type the first number in of my PIN before turning num lock after it 'realises' that it's not supposed to be on.
