  1. Lock Out ...I've never had a pin...


    Hi

    I got my PC rebooted today operating Windows 10 home. Im trying to start up the laptop and I'm stuck at the lock screen. It requires a PIN to login... unfortunately Ive never had a PIN before or maybe i had one and forgot it... I'm not sure, but I've always just hit the space bar and it would start up.


    I entered a few possible PINs ...none of which seem to work. I hit the "I Fogot My PIN" option and a black dialog box opens with Microsoft account at the top then after 5 seconds it closes and retunr to the screen saver.


    I dont know what to make of thus can anyone help me please?

    :)

    Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

    Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

    Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

    After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.
