    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

    Netplwiz to automatically logon to Windows using PIN.

    I'm sure this question has been asked many times. I use Netplwiz on all my systems to do the auto logon routine. Microsoft has made it very difficult to update or upgrade a system without agreeing to use a PIN. I understand it is the more secure option. However, I can't seem to find a "tutorial" explaining exactly what steps to take to eliminate auto logon using my Microsoft Password and replace it with the PIN auto logon using Netplwiz. Help appreciated.

    Netplwiz to automatically logon to Windows using PIN.

    Because you shouldn't be able to. Not much sense in setting up a more secure level login using a PIN, and then having it auto login with no user intervention ... Come to that, there's not much sense in setting up a passworded account and using auto login, either.
