    I forgot my pc pin


    I forgot my pc pin, so I click forgot pin, it sends a recovery code to my email and I input it. Then it says unable to reset pin skip for now or retry. I click skip for now and takes me back to the beginning page to input the pin. What can I do?

    :)

    Can't create pin for login. Pin stopped working

    Try the steps here:

    • Navigate to PC Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in options. Click on I forgot my PIN link.
    • Next, click on the Continue button in the Are you sure you forgot your PIN? screen.
    • You can now add a new PIN and click OK.

    Forgot pc pin

    I forgot my pc pin and after few wrong attempts it says, i can't log in because of wrong pin and repeated shut down and will have to keep my device on for 2 hrs for another attempt. The 'forgot my pin' is also not working. I tried clicking on it and it started processing but nothing happened. After that i tried local reinstall window but no results. And i finally remove my account from pc and tried logging in and i fail again. Is anyone willing to guide this idiot?
