Windows 10: I can't enter the last four of my cell phone number to get a reset code for my logon password.

After doing another required necessary device addition option my laptop windows 10

said my pin was invalid. Tried to get a reset code but now when I try to enter the

last four of my cell phone number, it won't let me enter the numbers. Numeric keypad or

regular numbers doesn't matter.

Blocking Cell Phone Numbers

Here's one way to get around the problem. It's kludgy but it should work.

Get a VOIP based phone service or a magic jack. For 24/7 access, you're better off with VOIP that uses an ethernet adapter, but that's up to the user.

The important point is to find one that lets you create your own "black list" of callers. Usually they will have both black and white list options and these are usually a subcategory under the "do not disturb" or similar feature.

The provider will usually let you create a second number for $5-10 per month. You'll use this for your cell phone number. If it is ever compromised, you can change it easily without affecting the base number.

Forward the second number to your cell phone and give everyone that one as your "cell phone" number. There will be a delay of a few seconds as calls get routed, but who cares. It's not like any of us is on Obama's speed dial right?

Now when you get assholes calling you, just add them to the black list.

You can also block calls w/o caller id this way if your cell phone co. doesn't already do that for you.

 

Blocking Cell Phone Numbers

i have read several forums that say that you cant block any cell numbers on any given plan. that is not true. i have US Cellular (crappy, but effective). i can go into security and block numbers that arent in my contact list. can i get ways for Verizon, T-Mobile, so on?

 

Difficulty resetting password after cell phone replacement with new phone number

Why is it so difficult to reset a password? Humans make mistakes and humans lose cell phones and humans acquire new

cell phone numbers.
