Unable to access PIN after performing the Anniversary Update on Windows 10

Hi Monty Lee,



Provide us additional information to assist you better with accessing the PIN on your device:

• 
  What is the complete error code/ error message while trying to access the PIN?
  
• 
  Where you able to see any other log-in password option on the lock screen?
  

I suggest you to try using the password on your lock screen and check if it helps. Also, try to access the user profile from the web browser on different computer and check if user credentials matches.

If the issue persists on the web browser: I suggest you to refer to the below link about: Why can't
you sign in? and try to reset the password. Try the new password on the computer and check if it helps.

If not this might be an issues on the computer, try the troubleshooting steps suggested by
