    Log in on new Laptop - PIN is no longer available...

    I set up my nephews new laptop this morning and now we can't even log intoit. It gives this error, but I cannot access the settings to change the pin.

    <Moderator removed PII>

    I have accessed his outlook account via another laptop but cannot find where to change the PIN.

    Someone please help?

    No longer able to use PIN on laptop

    Hi.

    I am able to use my PIN on my tablet and my phone. However, I can no longer use my PIN when signing in on my laptop. It has been many months since I was last able to use it on my laptop. When I select the PIN option now on my laptop, it says I am unable
    to log in this way due to your setup settings. I am unsure what steps to be able to use my PIN again on my laptop. I really, really do not want to use a new PIN if at all possible

    Best regards,

    Hi Debbie,

    It is possible that your son is unable to open his laptop while updating due to a corrupted or incomplete installation. To assist you better, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Is your son, getting an error message when he tried to turn on his laptop?
    • When he tried to open his laptop, are you able to check if the power light stays on?
    • Are you seeing black screen/blank screen when you tried to turn on his laptop?
    • What troubleshooting steps has your son done so far to resolve it?

    Meanwhile, if you're seeing a blank screen/black screen, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
    article on how to troubleshoot black screen errors. You can choose which best describes your issue.

    Keep us posted if you need additional help.
