  1. Why do I have to restart my PC to enter my PIN?


    So I was messing around with the settings and decided to add my other MS account. It asked for a Hello PIN, but I didn't remember it so I tried random numbers. After some time I logged out.Now, when I'm trying to log back in, it says: "You've entered an incorrect PIN too many times. To try again, restart your device."Like, don't you understand? I have important work that isn't saved! And now it's telling me to restart. I can't even save the work I did. This is absolutely pathetic. Could y'all provide a fix to this? I don't want to lose my work

    :)

    Can't enter PIN for Headset

    I'm grateful for your replies. I obviously haven't done a good job of explaining. Here are snips of the windows involved. I have done all the steps suggested, but I can't directly enter the PIN in the larger window. That seems to be my only problem. Plantronics hasn't answered yet, but I'll hope they come through.

  3. Entered an Incorrect PIN too Many Times

    I will try waiting several days as you did. When steps are suggested they aren't understanding that there are no choice...the screen just says you have entered the wrong pin too many times....that's all. Then restart your computer. No other choices are
    on the screen.
