Windows 10 PIN Sign-in

Hi Pat,

It is possible that the PIN set in an earlier build does not work after reinstalling Windows 10. To better assist you, we'd like clarify few things:

• Which build and version of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?
• Which build and version of Windows 10 are you using before reinstalling Windows?
• Have you tried resetting your PIN?
• Did you get any error messages after you verified the PIN you entered?

Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
article on how you can reset your PIN.

Keep us posted if you need additional help.

 

Pin sign in not working with Toshiba Satellite laptop

Way back in about June the pin sign in worked on my Toshiba Satellite laptop. All the Builds after that do have the pin sign in option and I have even changed this, but do not get the option to use it when signing in. Annoying because the pin sign in works
perfectly with my HP TouchScreen computer and with my Surface II. Any suggestions?
