    Log in PIN Not Working after PC Repair


    My PC randomly stopped working and so I sent it away to be repaired. Apparently there were no issues. I have received my PC back and went to log in - I have a pin to log in. I get the error: "Your PIN is no longer available due to a change to the security settings on this device. Click to set up your PIN again".When I click the button to set it up, I am just brought back to the same screen. I have restarted my PC many times. I have tried safe mode. I called the repair people and they said: "This happens as part of our repair service because Windows 11 detects BIOS update as a hardware security

  2. Log-in Pin is incorrect after Anniversary update


    I had the same issue after my update on Windows 10. I knew that my pin hadn't changed but it was saying it was incorrect. So I said that I forgot my pin and it started going through the steps to reset the pin entered my regular password and when the window popped up to set a new pin I said cancel and then I chose the option to set my pin later. I exited the screen, logged off logged back in, and set up a new pin which happened to be the same pin I had before and it worked. If this still doesn't work I can show step by step screen shots if you need. I have a surface 3 with Windows 10 fully updated 10.0.14393.0

    Cannot set up PIN after Creators Update

    In this case, we recommend to repair and set up a new PIN by doing the following steps:

    • Open File Explorer and browser to this location:
    C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC

    • Delete everything within that folder. You must be logged in as the Administrator to do this.
    • Go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options.
    • Click Add a PIN again and set your PIN.
    • PIN sign in should work moving forward.

    Let us know if the steps above works.
