Windows 10: The “I forgot my PIN” function isn't sending me the email with the recovery code.

When i select forgot my pin, it takes me to a microsoft screen where it claims it will send a code to my email the email that the computer is set up with. I select, “Send Code,” and it instructs me to check my email, but the email never comes. How can i login to my computer or reset the pin?! Please help!

Obtaining recovery pin when wrong email is listed

Hello Lisa,

I am Jaspreet Singh.

Is this a recovery pin that is being requested or a hello pin?

If this is a hello pin you can simply click on I forgot my pin and it will prompt for your Microsoft email.

However if you need the recovery code and donot have access to the security email use the steps under this title “remove security information” on this link : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

This has to be done on the device that you have login access to and it will take 30 days after which you will be able to set a new email to get the codes and will be able to login again.
