  1. Unable to log into computer, tried to change PIN, unable to change my PIN


    Hello, I was locked out of my computer so I tried to make a new PIN. It said that it had to email me so I could verify that it was me trying to change my PIN. However, it kept saying that it is unable to email me, and then said to go to the website: https://account.live.com/proofs/marklost and change my login information there. So I did that and changed it to a different email account that it could email, for me to verify from. However, now it says that I have to wait 30 days for this to change and I have no way to log into my computer.What can I do to log into my computer?

    :)

    Unable to Access Windows - PIN and Fingerprint Issues

    Hello,

    I am experiencing issues accessing my Windows account due to problems with the PIN and fingerprint login. Here are the steps I followed and the issues encountered:

    1. I entered an incorrect PIN several times.
    2. I decided to change the PIN. I successfully logged into my account. and attempted to change the PIN, but an error occurred during the process.
    3. Now, I am unable to log in using the PIN, and it is blocked for 2 hours.
    4. I am offered the option to use fingerprint authentication, but it does not work.
    5. I am not given the option to log in using my password or account credentials, even though I logged in with them when attempting to change the PIN.
    How can I regain access to Windows?

    Thank you for your assistance.

    Best regards,
