    Issue creating a windows hello pin


    After setting up my laptop for the first time, I then restarted it to get the updates. However then when j tried to sign back in I was directed to sign into my mircosoft account and then to create a windows hello pin. Every time I have done this it says there was an error and I need to try again later. I have reset my Microsoft password and this made no difference... can't seem to just create a windows login that's not related to my Microsoft account...don't know if anyone can help!Thank you

    :)

    Login with PIN and Hello

    Hi Jean,

    Windows 10 includes multiple options to sign-in to your account, including the ability to sign-in using a PIN and Windows Hello, which uses facial recognition. For us to provide a solution suited to your concern, we need additional information. Can
    you answer the questions below?

    • How are you setting the PIN and Hello?
    • Which build version of Windows is your PC running on?
    • Were there any error codes or messages?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you follow the steps below on how to set up PIN.

    • Open Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • Click Sign-in options.
    • Click the Add button for the PIN and set your PIN.
    • Do the same for the Windows Hello.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Unable to create Windows Hello PIN

    Hi,

    I have just bought second hand Lenovo T470s Laptop, which reset to factory setting (I believe). Now, I am trying to setup the Hello PIN first time and getting the following error:

    "we weren't able to set up your pin. you can try again, or skip this step and set up a pin later."

    Any suggestion on how to solve this??

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Regards,

    B Patel
