Windows 10: I just bought my computer and is asking me for a pin that I never set

I just bought my computers, asking me for a pin that I never set

:)

 

Windows 10 Xbox App asking for PIN number I never set.

Hi,

If you signed in to Windows 10 using your Microsoft account, the Xbox app will take the credentials you've used to sign in. There's a possibility that the PIN code you're asked to enter is the PIN code of your Windows 10 user account. Let's remove the PIN
code. Here are the steps:

• Click Start and select Settings.
• Select Accounts.
• Select Sign-in options, under PIN, click
  Remove.
• Confirm the changes by entering your profile password.

Refer to
Can I sign in to Windows without a password for the steps on how to change the sign-in options for your Windows 10 device.

If the same instance occurs after removing the PIN code and changing your user account's sign-in options, we suggest that you sign in to
Xbox.com. This is to verify if there's an issue with your Xbox account.

Keep us posted with the results. We'd be glad to further assist you.

 

Asking for PIN while Driving mode

Hello,

Could you share some more information to assist you better.

• What is the make and model of the computer?
• Which build are you in?

I understand that entering a pin is not required. I suggest you to change your sign-in options in the Settings app.

• Open the Settings app on your Windows 10 Mobile phone.
• Tap Accounts.
• Tap Sign-in options.
• Under PIN, tap Remove.

Let us know how it goes, we'll be glad to assist you.

 

Can't create pin for login. Pin stopped working

Hi Kevin,

To resolve your concern about creating pin to your computer, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Navigate to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC (click to get permission when prompted).
• Delete the contents of that folder (delete everything in that folder, but leave that folder and everything above it).
• Go back to settings, accounts, sign in options.
• Your non-working pin will now be gone, and you can just click 'add a pin' and set it again.

Let us know how it goes.
