Windows 10: Reset Windows 11 Login Pin - Code not being sent to my email address

I recently purchased a mini-PC and decided to do a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro due to bloatware and not trusting the drivers that came with the PC. I had some issues due to Secure Boot being enabled but figured out how to take care of that. The install eventually worked well.

Login Issues, not getting email with code to reset PIN

Hi,

It's been over 2 weeks and still I am not able to login to my computer which hampered by business,

When I tried to login it says My Account is blocked because of multiple incorrect passwords and guided me to reset my PIN number, when I follow the same and entered my email address it says I will receive a Code to my email and I have never received even after multiple attempts.

Please do needful.

Thanks

 

No PIN emails being sent

I am trying to set up a new Desktop PC. For some reason it asks for a PIN to log in. I've no recollection of setting up a PIN and when I ask for a code to be sent to my blueyonder email address nothing arrives. The emails are not in Virgin Media's spam folder nor in my local one. I've no idea why Microsoft thinks I want a password in the first place, so, 1. how do I get Microsoft to send the emails and 2. how do I disable the login security, it's entirely unnecessary.

 

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
