    Incorrect pin too many times while computer is shut down


    I have recently updated my computer to windows 11 and set up a pin because it asked me for one. I left my computer in a laptop bag all day and it was shut down but when I turned it on a few minutes ago I was greeted with a prompt that said something along the lines of "too many unsuccessful pin attempts, type random generated code to log in".

    Here are your options:

    • Enter the correct PIN
    • Click "Login options" then log in with your password
    • Wait until the timeout that you see on the screen has expired
    • Log on with the spare admin account that you wisely created some time ago, same as you had a spare key cut for your house.
