Windows 10: Pin is unavaible and required to log in

When I turn my computer on it now requires a pin to log in to the computer, yet after log in I go into setting to change the pin and it tells me the pin option is unavailable. It is requiring a pin to log in and then telling me the pin option to log in is unavailable on this device.

Creators Update: PIN login requires multiple steps

Hi John

thanks for your suggestion - i followed these steps and can log in again with the PIN as before the update.

This makes life much easier again

Kind regards, Thomas

 

Log-in Pin is incorrect after Anniversary update


I had the same issue after my update on Windows 10. I knew that my pin hadn't changed but it was saying it was incorrect. So I said that I forgot my pin and it started going through the steps to reset the pin entered my regular password and when the window popped up to set a new pin I said cancel and then I chose the option to set my pin later. I exited the screen, logged off logged back in, and set up a new pin which happened to be the same pin I had before and it worked. If this still doesn't work I can show step by step screen shots if you need. I have a surface 3 with Windows 10 fully updated 10.0.14393.0
