    Lock Screen PIN corrupted


    Win 10 boots up to lock screen shows "Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to set up your pin again. Set up my pin" Set up my pin doesn't work, and I can't get past this screen. PLEASE help me with how to fix this problem. I can boot to DOS screen with USB update software but can't do reinstall. Is there something I could change in Reg file to correct problem?

    :)

    Lock screen automatically with password

    Hi Kenneth,

    To have a better view on this concern, are you referring with Lock Screen timeout? If so, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • Click on Start menu.
    • Go to Settings.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Under Sign-in options, click on Lock screen.
    • Go to Screen timeout settings.
    • Change the value under Screen.

    Also, no need to create a pin code since you already have your Microsoft account password. You can sign in using your account.

    Let us know if you need any further assistance and we will be glad to help.
