  1. Login, PIN, Password


    I have 3 accounts on my PC Windows 11. We don't use passwords, PINs or any logins. If I log out or lock mp PC Windows key + L then I am prompted for PIN or create a PIN which I don't want. The only way to get into my account is shut down the PC and restart. How the hell do I turn this login crap off? How do I get to see a screen with 3 account options shown, click and no login prompts?

    :)

  2. Forgotten PIN and expired password

    Hi Dyari,

    Thanks for your answer.

    I tried steps of both links:

    • #1: reset PIN code
      • I see no link "reset your PIN"on login page --> I can't reset it
    • #2: change or reset windows password
      • My Windows account is not displayed at all on login page.
      • I am using a local account
    If you have any other suggestion, I would be more than happy to try.

    Regards,

    Guillaume
