    Asks 'Create a pin' but then this states 'Something went wrong'. When you select 'skip' it takes you back to login and just stuck in a loop. I can log into microsoft account via another laptop so it isn't locked but cannot avoid the 'Create a pin' step or revert to local login as I can't get past login screen. Running Windows 10.I am basically locked out of my PC

    Not Able to login

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

    Please confirm the following things for me.

    1. Is your system connected to the internet? You can check this through the network icon at the bottom left corner of your login screen.
    2. What error message are you receiving when you login with your Microsoft account?

    I would suggest you to login to
    http://login.live.com/
    with your Microsoft account and check if you are able to sign-in with your credentials.

    If you are able to sign-in with your Microsoft account on the live website, you can follow the steps in this article to ‘Start
    your PC in safe mode in Windows 10
    ’, kindly follow the steps in the section ‘From the sign-in screen’ and check if you are able to login to your system.

    We await your response.

    problem with a PC to start games (Xbox not signed in)

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    May I know, if you are able to login to your Microsoft account from a browser?






    Hope it helps.

    Microsoft Account sign in problems Windows 10

    Hi ShirleyMoreno1,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    Appreciate your efforts to work on this issue.

    I can understand the situation must be difficult for you when the system doesn't work as it should.

    Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

    1. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to this issue?
    2. Are you using a Microsoft account or a local account?
    3. Do you have any other Administrator user account on your system?

    However, let us follow these methods to check if that helps you to sign in to the PC:

    Method A: Since you are not able to login with your Microsoft account credentials, suggest you to open a preferred web browser, go to login.live.com and check if you are able to login with the Microsoft account.

    Suggest you to follow the steps provided by ‘Likhitha V’
    from this thread
    to check if that helps you sign in to the PC.

    Method B: Further, if the issue still persists and if you are using a Microsoft account to login to your system, I suggest you to refer this article on
    When you can't sign in to your Microsoft account and check if it is helpful to you.

    I can't sign in to my Microsoft account - Microsoft Support

    Please follow the suggestions provided and get back to us with the results.
