Laptop 4 digit password I can't log in

Hi,

To better assist you regarding your concern, we would like to ask some questions:

• Are you referring to removing the existing PIN?
• Are you referring to inability to log in because you forgot your PIN?
• If so, do you have other user account on your computer who has an administrator access?

If you have other user account on your computer that has administrator access, you can log in to that account and from there you can use the "I forgot my PIN" option to reset it. However, be guided that you need to remember your password(The one you use when
accessing your Microsoft account). To do so, follow the steps below:

• Go to Settings
• Click Accounts
• Click Sign-in options
• Click I forgot my PIN
• Click Continue
• Enter your Password
• Click OK
• Set up a new PIN (Enter at least a minimum 4 digit new PIN)
• Click OK
  

We're looking forward to your response.

You may try following these steps.

1. Right-click Windows icon, click on Windows PowerShell (Admin)

2. Copy-paste

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like “*SystemApps*”} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

3. Wait until the process completes.
