    This is the activated Home version of Windows 10. I have tried going into the registry but the Max and Min PIN length settings are not there. I don't know what else to do I don't even know why I was prompted to change the PIN in the first place. Anyone have any suggestions?

    PIN is required to login

    I used to login windows with my fingerprint.

    But now it required to login with my PIN and I forgot my PIN (even didn't remember that I set a PIN or not)

    I check on "forget PIN" but no response.

    I scan fingerprint and it required my PIN....

    How can I login with my fingerprint only?

    Reset win10 login pin

    Is it possible to reset the windows 10 login pin if you've forgotten what it was?

    I managed to get it changed (after *much* trial and error), but it appears to require the old pin to change the pin -- even if you know the password. That's just weird. You should be able to reset the pin at any time if you have the full password.
