Windows 10: Lost Pin

Hello,

I've lost the pin on my laptop, there is no outlook account or key created for recovery can I just reset it. It has no data of value.

It's a Pavilion DV5 with Windows10. Actually I changed the pin after resetting Windows to sell the laptop and it's not what I thought I reset it to.


I have the recovery USB stick but the Bios in this PC has no reference to change boot device.


Thanks,

Curt

:)

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.

 

Lost the ability to log into Windows 10 with PIN

Hi Przemyslaw,

Some system components may be missing or corrupted, causing the problem you are facing to occur. Before we can fully address this, please answer some things so we can understand this better:

• Did this start after updates were installed on the computer?
• Does the same situation happen when you add a pin as your sign-in option in Windows Settings?

Since you have tried adding the option in Control Panel, let's see if there will be a difference when we do it in Windows Settings. Follow these steps:

• Click on Start.
• Open Settings.
• Choose Accounts.
• Go to Sign-in options.
• Under PIN, click on Add.

You can also try the suggestions posted by John Rubdy on this

Let us know if the steps above help you set up a PIN on your computer.

Regards.
