  1. I can't set a pin or use windows hello on my laptop


    I can't set a pin or use windows hello, I think this is a administration issue. Although i can log in through my microsoft password and email verification. Even though i gave my self permission on the ngc folder i can't delete it. It also says i require permission from the administrator but i should be the admin. Thats what is says on ngc properties and settings On cmd prompts the administrator account is disabled but when I put in the active= yes code is says system error 5 or along those lines.

    :)

    I can't set a pin or use windows hello on my laptop

    Unable to create Windows Hello PIN

    Hi,

    I have just bought second hand Lenovo T470s Laptop, which reset to factory setting (I believe). Now, I am trying to setup the Hello PIN first time and getting the following error:

    "we weren't able to set up your pin. you can try again, or skip this step and set up a pin later."

    Any suggestion on how to solve this??

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Regards,

    B Patel
