    I FORGOT MY PIN AND THERE'S NO FORGOT PIN OPTION AND SHIFT RESET DOESN'T WORK AT ALL.


    I have an ASUS Vivobook using Windows 11. It uses Biometrics to login, so I never use the PIN. NOW my 2 year old daughter punched in the PIN too many times and the computer got locked. I thought "Not a Problem, I'll just use my Finger print and login." BUT NOPE! It wants a PIN, WHY? Isn't a FINGERPRINT the HIGHEST FORM OF SECURITY as it cannot be copied or stolen? But Microsoft doesn't seem to think so. NOW I can't log in and there's NO I forgot PIN option, and holding down Shift and Restart Does Absolutely NOTHING. WHAT DO I DO?

    :)

    Forgot PIN, no other login options

    I lost the PIN for a Windows laptop. When I hit "forgot my PIN" the screen said "just a moment" and had a spinning circle. It stayed that way for about 10 minutes, then there was a popup that said "you must download an app from the Store to complete this request". When I returned to the login screen, I tested a number of PINs that were incorrect, and now there is no "forgot my PIN" option. There was never an option to sign in with a password listed.

    Windows 11 forgot PIN

    I forgot my pin-Accounts-PIN-I forgot my PIN-I click it, enter my password, I get a code sent to my phone but I'm not given enough time to get the code and then enter it. I get kicked back to Accounts-Sign-in options screen. Any suggestions?

    Forgot PIN

    If you forgot the PIN, you have no choice but to hard reset the phone and start from scratch. You can't bypass the PIN. If you could, there would be no point to the PIN.
