    Trouble Setting up Pin Signin


    I had to install a new hard drive and my pin has been removed. When I try to create the pin again it says I must be connected to the internet, but as you can see, I am connected to the internet. Somehow, I changed the settings and I am not sure what I did. I removed the pin number and now I cannot add it back again.

    :)

    switching back to a pin# for window's10 signin

    Hi Randy,

    To better assist you, please clarify the following:

    • Is your old PIN still stored in the settings of your computer?
    • Is the option to sign in using PIN enabled in the settings of your device?
    Please follow the steps to check if PIN is enabled, go to Settings. Under
    Accounts, click on Sign in options and check under
    PIN if it asks you to Add or Change.

    If PIN is already stored in the settings of your device, check if it shows as an option for signing in when your device is locked. If your have both PIN and Password, it will give you an option to choose which one to use.

    Trouble saving voicemail number

    To access my voicemail it is my phone number, a pause and 4 digit pin.



    I did the following steps:

    • Turned off default voicemail number
    • Added a , (for pause) at end of my phone number
    • Added the 4 digit pin
    I get the following error message We're having trouble saving your voicemail number right now. Try again later.



    Any suggestions on how to correct this?

    Trouble Setting up Pin Signin

    Cannot set up PIN after Creators Update

    In this case, we recommend to repair and set up a new PIN by doing the following steps:

    • Open File Explorer and browser to this location:
    C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC

    • Delete everything within that folder. You must be logged in as the Administrator to do this.
    • Go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options.
    • Click Add a PIN again and set your PIN.
    • PIN sign in should work moving forward.

    Let us know if the steps above works.
