    Unable to Setup Login Pin for Windows 10


    Hello,I changed my memory stick and pc crashed a few times. So I went back to my old ram stick.Thereafter I had to do system restore because of the crashes. I updated windows again and all system component drivers etc..PC is up to date.The only problem I'm still having after the system restore is signing in using the pin. It will not work. I deleted pin and tried to create a new one but it won't let me create a pin. Refer to picture for error.I'm signing in using my email password and it's working fine.

    :)

    Unable to setup Windows Hello, error: incorrect pin

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    May I know the complete error code or error message that you are receiving when you try to setup Windows Hello?

    Do you have any other user account on the computer?

    If yes, does Windows Hello work on that account?

    If Windows Hello is not setup on other account, please setup it up and check if it works so that we can narrow down the issue for you.

    I suggest to remove the pin and setup a new pin on the child account and check if it works with Windows Hello.

    Please follow the steps below to remove and re-add the PIN:

    • Press Windows logo key + I to open Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • Click on Sign-in options.
    • Under PIN, remove the pin. There will be prompt to enter password, enter the password and removed the PIN.
    • After the pin is removed, please click on
      Add to setup pin for the account.
    • After setting up a new PIN, try to set up Windows Hello.


    Hope it helps.

    Regards,

  4. Unable to Setup Login Pin for Windows 10

    Login Setup won't take a PIN

    Hello,

    I have exact same issues with pin-code login (but I don't have fingerprint scanner).

    When I (logged in as administrator) open abovementioned folder C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService

    I have no \AppData\ folder in there.

    System File Checker tool performed some checks, even reported few fixes, but did
    not resolve pin code issue.
