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.

Hi,

In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

• What is the email account showing under “Your info” in Settings Account?

Meanwhile, we would suggest you to create a new user account and sign in with the Microsoft account (i.e. Outlook) and then try creating a PIN in that user account. Follow the steps from the article
