Windows 10: If I use a password and PIN to log in, and I exceed a set number of wrong password...

I use Windows 10, an administrator Microsoft user account, and default settings.

:)

 

Set to skip username/password but log-in screen says password is wrong

I used to be able to skip the log-in process on my Windows 10 machine but recently it started saying that my password is incorrect and refusing to skip the log-in. I then have to enter my PIN or password. I have confirmed that "users must enter a username and password to use this computer" is unchecked.

 

Microsoft Account PIN and password

We appreciate the screenshot that you provided. to start troubleshooting the issue with you logins, we suggest that you follow the steps below on how login pin goes back to password:

• Click Start menu and go to Settings.
• In Settings, click the Accounts icon.
• Click on Sign-in options.
• Change both your password and pin one by one.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Logging in with PIN...Seems password is not what I thought I set it to

I can't imagine how I did this. My PC had some repair, and HP sent it back with a user of HP. I cahnged it to my name, and set up my old password (I thought...don't know how I got it wrong when I had to verify it). But I also set up a PIN, and it has been having me login with that.

I'm trying to access the computer from another, and am unsuccessful.

So, I went to change the password just to see if that helps, and it tells me my password is wrong when I enter the current password in order to change it.

I have no idea how to get out of this mess.

Any suggestions?
