Windows 10: I cannot Log-in to computer

Discus and support I cannot Log-in to computer in Windows 10 Gaming to solve the problem; I set up facial recognition and fingerprint. My computer suddenly will not use any of those to sign me on, only requiring the PIN and I don’t remember... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Gaming' started by Anna Sanders, Feb 7, 2023.

  1. I cannot Log-in to computer


    I set up facial recognition and fingerprint. My computer suddenly will not use any of those to sign me on, only requiring the PIN and I don’t remember the PIN. There are limited options on my screen. It does not allow me to reset the PIN, only a catch phrase, which I don’t know. My only options are accessibility and power. When I choose sign-in options, I can click on fingerprint and facial recognition but they don’t work. I do not know the password and I don’t think I set this up because I did not want a password.

    :)
