    I forgot my PIN


    Yesterday, my PC asked me to change my PIN because of some organization stuff. But today, the new PIN I set up doesn't work when I try to use my PC. I even tried using my Microsoft password, which works fine elsewhere, but no luck.I thought of using the "Forgot my PIN" option, but it's not showing up on my lock screen. I'm not sure what to do next, but I really need to fix this ASAP.

    :)

    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.

    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?
