    PIN not accepted


    Hi. I've been signing in to Windows 10 with a 4 digit PIN number for months.
    All of a sudden it's not accepted.
    Any rational reason why this would happen?

    It's not an issue, I can still sign in with my Microsoft account and change the PIN number, I'm just curious as to why this has happened. If it's a case of PIN expiry or something, then I would expect some form of notice.

    (Please, nobody ask me if I'm inputting the right number *Smile ).

    :)

    pin not accepted 0x80070032

    When I power on my Asus (windows 10) and the sign in screen appears to enter a pin, I enter my pin and get the message "Something went wrong code 0x80070032 Restart your device to see if it fixes the problem." When I restart, the same thing happens.
    I tried several times with no success, pin will not be accepted. Computer started fine yesterday, and I don't know what changed overnight. Please help.
