  1. Please help... Windows Hello and PIN do not work, no option to reset pin and login via password


    I have a problem logging in to Surface 11 Pro - I use Windows Hello and a pin. Face recognition suddenly stopped working, the system asked for a pin - I try to enter it, but the pin doesn't work too... I also don't have the "reset pin" option or in the sign-in options - logging in via login / password is a Microsoft account. in sign-in options I have only login with pin... I can't handle it at all, no knowledge base describes this case.I completely lost access to my Surface :-

    :)

    Login with PIN and Hello

    Hi Jean,

    Windows 10 includes multiple options to sign-in to your account, including the ability to sign-in using a PIN and Windows Hello, which uses facial recognition. For us to provide a solution suited to your concern, we need additional information. Can
    you answer the questions below?

    • How are you setting the PIN and Hello?
    • Which build version of Windows is your PC running on?
    • Were there any error codes or messages?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you follow the steps below on how to set up PIN.

    • Open Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • Click Sign-in options.
    • Click the Add button for the PIN and set your PIN.
    • Do the same for the Windows Hello.

    Looking forward to your response.

  3. Forgotten PIN and expired password

    Hi Dyari,

    Thanks for your answer.

    I tried steps of both links:

    • #1: reset PIN code
      • I see no link "reset your PIN"on login page --> I can't reset it
    • #2: change or reset windows password
      • My Windows account is not displayed at all on login page.
      • I am using a local account
    If you have any other suggestion, I would be more than happy to try.

    Regards,

    Guillaume
