On my second laptop, forgotten the PIN, when I try the password, will ask for Authenticator code when Authenticator is not active on my phone. How should I reset my pin?

Windows 10 Force authentication back to password from PIN when PIN forgotten

Hi,

I am trying to help someone who has locked themselves out of their PC because they have forgotten the PIN to their Microsoft account. They still have their account password so is there a way to force authentication back to password so they can log in and
reset their PIN

Thanks

forgotten pin

Hi,

I'm going around in circles here.

I want to download Windows Draw.

I'm asked for my PIN - I have absolutely no memory of ever setting a PIN.

I click on "I have forgotten my PIN"

I'm asked to sign In, but I am already signed in.

My contact phone number has changed so that won't work.

I go to the site suggested;

I'm asked for my PIN - I have absolutely no memory of ever setting a PIN.

I click on "I have forgotten my PIN"

I'm asked for details of my age etc.

An automated response come back saying I haven't provided the right data!

I still want to download Windows Draw.

Argghhhhh
