Windows 10: rRset Windows pin after factory repair

After a mother board replacement by Lenovo factory, my original pin was erased and Microsoft won't allow me to update it. I can't get into my computer at all. Cannot get ahold of Microsoft to answer this question. Help, please.

Repairing LGA775 pins

try that with a old socket and you wind up with a dead system, and a pin that is crushed beyond bending it back, Id suggest you find a dead SKT T board, extract a pin from it and get a jeweler to do the job for you.

 

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
