    PIN not accepting to login in windows...

    welcome : What do you mean by Problem is that,.

    "Even there is no option to enter the password"

    So comfirm after, you try to type the PIN. You don't

    see the option "Forgot my PIN" underneath the [Typing field]

    but if you see the "I Forgot My PIN" option : Follow steps to reset it

    To reset your PIN:

    1. Open Settings.
    2. Click Accounts.
    3. Click Login Options.
    4. In the PIN section, click I forgot my PIN.
    5. Check your password and click OK.
    6. On the next screen, create a new PIN and follow screen instructions
    7. Restart your PC and verify that you can login with the new PIN

      if the above steps fail them : Apply the fix on this video
