    Issue with login. Does not allow me to use pin or fingerprint, only Microsoft account password


    Hi. I am a university study pursuing my masters. I got this laptop from my dad who used his old email id which he doesn't have access to. I had just updated my windows laptop and after restarting the system I tried to login by my usual sign in options i.e. fingerprint or pin. Never have I used or assigned a password to login to my laptop. Now it's asking for the password to login to my system for an outlook email id which I never created. I do not have a password for this mail id nor do I have or know the mail id to the alternate/back up email. My final exams are coming up and I need my laptop

    :)

    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.

    2nd Account Fingerprint Login

    Windows 10s. Two separate accounts setup (each with password, pin & fingerprint) One account login gives Pin and/or Fingerprint option. Second account only gives Pin option...how do I get Fingerprint option for both accounts?

    Issue with login. Does not allow me to use pin or fingerprint, only Microsoft account password

    Fingerprint and pin login not working

    After changing my email address on my Microsoft account, the old email address still appears on my Windows 10 sign in screen.

    However I find I am now unable to log in with my fingerprint or pin. I can only log in by typing the password. I get this error message:

    "You can't sign in to your device right now. Try the last password you used on this device."

    I attempted to change the account to a local account and when I do I get this error message:

    "We're sorry, but something went wrong. Your Microsoft account wasn't changed to a local account. Code 0x80004005"

    Any suggestions on how to get my Microsoft login to reflect my new email address and restore my ability to log in with fingerprint and pin?
