    PIN and Password nor working


    I recently reset my pin. I have been getting the following error message:


    "Something happened and your pin isn't available. Choose another sign-in option and set up your PIN again by going to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options."


    I tried using my password and it's not working anymore.


    I tried resetting the password, but, even the answers to the security questions I had set are not working.


    Please help as I am locked out of my computer.


    Thanks

    :)

    Windows 10 password pin stopped working

    Hi,

    To better assist you, please answer the following questions:

    • Are you able to start up your device up to the desktop screen?
    • After doing the password reset, what error message are you getting?
    • Are you able to log in to your account using a password instead of a pin?

    In the meantime, if you are able to start up your device up to the desktop screen you may follow the steps to Remove Pin:

    Go to Settings.

    Under Accounts, click on Sign in options and select
    Remove PIN.

    After removing your PIN (this will require your password to do this), then you may click
    Add PIN. Follow the steps to add a PIN.

    NOTE: You may use the same PIN you have been using.

    After doing so, log out of your account and sign back in using your PIN.

    Let us know how it works.
