  1. I forgot my PIN now im locked out


    The email that is sending the verification code is on my PC that I cannot get into. The email linked onto the Windows account is unable to send the code to the email that I have access to. I am now locked out, and I cannot change my PIN.

  2. 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.

    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?
