    Signing into laptop


    Hi, I have an account on a "family" laptop that I haven't accessed for 6+ months been using my new Mac instead.Now when I try to log in to my account on the family laptop , it says I needed to set up a PIN number to access my account but when I clicked on the button to do this, the screen says I can't set one up ?When I clicked the other button to "skip" this procedure, it sent me back to a screen that says " your computer is running low on resources , so no new users can sign in. Please use an account that has already been signed in. "Can someone help me get into my account please?

    :)

  3. password sign in

    Hi,

    About your concern with typing the password after being idle, it is actually recommended to activate for security reasons.

    If you wish to disable it, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Go to Settings.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Click on Sign in options.
    • On the right side, you will see required sign in.
    • Change it to Never.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Signing into laptop

    Inability to sign on to my laptop

    Hi,



    It's possible for you to change the sign-in method of your computer once you're logged in. Since you can't remember your password, if you're using your Microsoft account, we suggest that you follow the steps
    provided in this article: When you can't sign in to your Microsoft account.
    If you're using a local account, follow the steps here instead: Reset
    your Windows 10 local account password
    .



    Once you're able to sign in, you can change the sign-in options by following these steps:


    • Click Start.

    • Type Sign-in options.

    • Press Enter.

    • Under PIN, click Add.

    • Enter your password or any other required information when prompted and click
      OK.

    • Enter at PIN number with at least 4 digits and click OK.



    Let us know if you need help with any other concerns.
