    Why doesn't my computer recognise my sign-in pin number?


    My computer sign in screen suddenly does not recognise my pin. This is very annoying because all Microsoft's instructions assume that I can press the Windows key etc etc, but I can't get past the screensaver! Set up the account over 10 years ago and have just heard from Microsoft that I haven't sent enough info for them to reset it!

    :)

  2. Remove sign in pin

    Hi Joel,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to remove the sign in pin/password options.

    • In the search box type sign-in-option.
    • Click on the sign-in-option.
    • Then you can find password/pin/picture password.
    • There you can remove the option and check.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

  3. Pin Sign in

    I have Windows 10 and ran an update last week. I used to be able to sign in using a pin number. I have looked at other posts and tried to re-add my pin number to sing in. None of the 3 steps which were listed on old posts work. I have to type my full
    password every time to open the computer. Please let me know how I can set this to log in with a pin number again.

    **Moved from: Windows / Windows 10 / Install, upgrade, & activate**

    Why doesn't my computer recognise my sign-in pin number?

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?
