Windows 10: PIN

Hey, any help is appreciated.Here's the details so basically, yesterday I had online class. Of course I went up opened and opened my laptop and then when I press sign up, it tells me to create a PIN. I did and it was successful. I went on my day and yeah. Today, I opened my laptop, I put on my PIN, and then I get started. I went to eat after and put my laptop into sleep. I then opened my laptop and I signed up with my PIN. I entered my PIN, and It says PIN not available. So, I put on my gmail password to create another PIN and my gmail password doesn't work. I just then decided to send a code

Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.

Can't create pin for login. Pin stopped working

Hi Kevin,

To resolve your concern about creating pin to your computer, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Navigate to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC (click to get permission when prompted).
• Delete the contents of that folder (delete everything in that folder, but leave that folder and everything above it).
• Go back to settings, accounts, sign in options.
• Your non-working pin will now be gone, and you can just click 'add a pin' and set it again.

Let us know how it goes.
