Forgot windows password but can login with PIN

I forgot my windows login password but remember my windows hello PIN. I can login into my windows with this PIN .

Now Widgets on mt PC are not working. I try signing with the windows hello PIN but the app crashes and asks for signing info again.

I wanted to create a Forgot password Flash drive but the system again asks for the password (and not windows hello PIN) before such a drive can be created.

Is there any way I can reset my Password in this situation.

PS..... I shifted from a local account to Microsoft account but of no avail.

 

Is my Login PIN Associated with my Microsoft Account

Hi Yeku, I will try to assist you in working together to resolve this issue!

Usually Microsoft account will ask you to set up pin after login.

If you forgot PIn, please check the login options under the login window, whether there are other login methods, such as local password login, Microsoft account password login

If there are no other login methods, please click Forgot Pin, and reset the pin according to the guideline in the window.

I hope the above suggestions can help you! If you can't solve the problem, please click "Reply" to send us your feedback and pictures.
