    Unable to add PIN from account... because it requires my PIN?


    Hi,I recently performed a clean reset of my Windows 10 installation. I am now facing an annoyance where on login it asks for my account PIN rather than a password. However I do not have a PIN setup on my account.When I go to Settings -> Sign-in options -> Windows Hello PIN, I only have an option to add a PIN. When I follow the wizard, it first asks for my password, but then asks for my non-existent PIN to proceed. It does not give me any alternative authentication methods.Any and all help is greatly appreciated.OS = Microsoft Windows 10 Pro x64Ver = 10.0.19044 Build 190441234

    :)
