    „Something went wrong Pin is unavailabe“ - But Microsoft Password false wrong


    Hi all,So i‘ve read about my issue a few times but nothing can’t seem to fix it.I upgraded some PC components CPU and GPU, everything seems to be fine on the hardware side.When I get to boot windows i get stuck on the loading screen because it says “Something happened and your PIN is unavailable. Click to set up new PIN”Well clicking on set up a new pin does nothing.I get the option to use password, I never set up a password for the computer and the one from my Microsoft account gets flagged as wrong even though it is 100% correct as I can log into it on my phone and I even changed it.I also

    :)

    Wrong Password


    The "Old Password" is the password to your local account. It is about to change your local account to a Microsoft Account. If you don't mind this, then enter your local account password. If you think this is overly intrusive of Microsoft, don't do it and let Cortana die.

    Pin is not available- password is wrong

    I am seeing the error message something happened and your pin is not available. When I try any support issue, I am asked to enter my password. I enter my correct password and it says it is wrong. I know the password is correct.

    Wrong Password


    Kevin, it turns out that the "old password" refers to your Windows user password, not a Microsoft account password. In an effort to get people to create/use Microsoft accounts, Microsoft wants you to abandon logging into Windows with your Windows username and password, and instead use your Microsoft account username and password. Thus, if you're still using your Windows username and password to log into Windows, you'll have to enter this as the "old password" when enabling Cortana. The reason they call it the "old password" (while not telling you which password!) is that in addition to enabling Cortana, it will secretly in the background change your Windows logon to require your Microsoft account info instead of your "old" logon info.

    Once I got through this, Cortana worked. I tried it out for a couple of hours, found it worthless, and completely removed it from my system (which is also not straightforward; there's another thread devoted to that).
