Windows 10: WAIT 30 DAYS TO CHANGE PIN?! NO PC ACCESS!!! Help

Hello,Why am I being forced to wait 30 days?Last week I tried adding a finger in my laptop to scan better during the login. I had to enter my pincode, which I wrote down on a paper and used before to log in.But the code didn’t work? It denied access and I went through the steps of setting up a new pincode, luckily I already added a fingerprint, so I could still use I could still reprint scan. But today I tried finger access, and I got rejected. It said to enter pincode, but my passcode was still not working and now I have to wait 30 days to access my laptop.Can someone please help?I need to do

:)

 

30 day wait?

Hi,

I gave my Lumia 920 to my son to use, with the idea that I'll be able to activate Family Safety on the phone as I did on his tablet. I reset the phone and started to enter his Outlook.com credentials for the Microsoft account. But when the verification is
done, it still wants to send the verification code to my cell number - and not his. I made sure that his SIM card is used, but it insisted to send the verification to my number. When I changed the security info to his number, it said that I'll have to wait
30 days for the change to take affect.

I understand some of the logic behind the 30 day wait, but for two reasons it's totally impractical in my case:

1. I have control over the phone and accounts, so I should be able to decide what to active and when - not the system.

2. My son can only use the phone when I can monitor his internet access - he now has to wait 30 days before that can happen - total waste!

30 day wait for secondary email change.

Hi, kimsharp.

I'm Jen, I'm also an Outlook user just like you. I'm not working for Microsoft but I'd be happy to help you figure this out.

I understand how frustrating it is to wait for 30 days to change the security info. Unfortunately, it cannot be expedited for security purposes. I shared an article below with details on what features are available while waiting.

30 day wait for secondary email change.

My laptop failed to start after a Windows update. I was then prompted for a 42 digit recovery key, which I had no idea about. I was advised to sign into my Microsoft account, which I had never used and didn't want. I eventually found my account email but had no idea what the password was. I had to supply a ridiculous amount of personal questions and was then sent a link enabling me to change my password.

In my MS account I clicked on my device and the bitlocker recovery key link and it wanted to send an email to my secondary account, not my main one. the secondary account is one I haven't used for many years. I found a link to change the email to a current one and was told to wait 30 days! How utterly ridiculous is that? I can't wait 30 minutes to repair my laptop, that was ruined by a Microsoft update in the first place, never mind 30 days. Plus, I already went through all the personal details that they asked for to prove it was me but that is not good enough.

They say that this is to stop hackers, news for you Microsoft! A hacker is more likely to wait 30 days than the average user!
