Windows 10: “Something Went Wrong” PIN Error

Hi, all. Really hoping I can find help for this issue. I just went to log onto my laptop and it said “something happened and your PIN isn’t available”. I cannot remember my password and have tried every possible combination based on the password hint I set up. I’ve never had this issue before. I tried to do the password reset but it mentioned a USB disc. I’m not really tech savy so I’m not sure if this is the same as a regular USB stick. I’ve tried restarting several times and turning internet off and on. I don’t want to reset because I have so much on my laptop. All the help solutions aren’t really working for me as I can’t remember that damn password. Any advice for this?

Thank you!

Error 'Something went wrong. Try again later' with the pin code

Hello,

In addition to above mentioned suggestions, please refer this fix:

[FIX] "Something Went Wrong. Try Again Later.'' While Changing PIN In Windows 10

Hope this helps, Good luck

 

Error 'Something went wrong. Try again later' with the pin code

I have the same issue. Pin just stopped working after installing updates. Changed to requiring a password.

The Sign-in Options page only shows "Add" under PIN. It would appear that the existing PIN has been deleted. Normally one would expect to see "Remove" as well as "Add" if the PIN existed.

Trying to add a PIN just results in a grey screen popping up and then disappearing, with the message "Something went wrong. Try again later"

How about telling us what went wrong? Oh you have no idea.

How about telling us how much later? Oh you have no idea.

I've trawled the 'net looking for an answer and most of the MS responses (such as this one) suggest removing and adding a PIN, or selecting "I've forgotten my PIN". If they actually bothered to read the requests then they would see the futility of their
suggestions!

Come on MS, FIX THE PROBLEM!

 

Windows 10 Sign-in options PIN displays Something went wrong. Try again later

If that's so, may we know what steps are you trying for creating a PIN? Also, since you're getting the same error message after performing the suggested step, then you can try creating another user account and create a PIN with it.

Get back to us with the result.
