    Sign-in blocked because of too many attempts, how long is this lock for?


    I'm trying to sign in to a retired email that I used before college. After the first failed login, I was notified that my account sign in is blocked. I tried to recover the account but the automated system says I haven't provided enough info. Is this block a permanent thing? Why is there no human support?

    :)

    different lock screen and sign in screen?

    Step 2b is labeled as Change the Login Screen Image, but the steps show you how to change the Lock Screen image. Step 2a is irrelevant. It only tells you how to change the desktop background.

    What I want to do:
    Set Spotlight as the LOCK Screen Image(s) - Done
    Set the Win 10 Hero Image as the SIGN IN Screen Image - This is the one that shows after you click on the lock screen and you are able to type your password. If I uncheck "Show Lock Screen Image on Sign In Screen", it shows a solid blue background behind my Password box and user image. This is what I want to change to the Hero Image....

    Windows hello has been blocked due to too many sign-on attempts

    Hi,

    I followed your suggestion. I also noticed that there appeared to be a system update at the same time. Anyway, the issue of the constant error of Windows Hello being blocked appears to be resolved. I have be able to logon successfully using the fingerprint
    reader. However I have on one occasion had Windows hello blocked due to multiple sign-on attempts.

    Is there any way to modify the Windows hello blocking settings?

    Thanks and regards,

    Mark

    Windows Hello has been blocked due to too many sign in attempts. To unblock Hello sign in with your pin.'

    Friend tried to log in. Not my face. Windows Hello blocked due to too many sign-in attempts. Sign-in options will not go to pin page. Basically locked out. Tried to restart. Tried to shut down. Same screen when it comes on. How to repair?
