    Why is my computer suddenly not recognizing my PIN, nor giving me any other way to log in...


    I am the only person who has access, I have not changed my pin. Clicking 'forgot my pin' doesn't give me any other sign in options...it just goes to the pre launch home screen. I press a key and I'm back at the PIN screen. Why on earth would this have happened? How do I get back into my computer, and how do I diagnose why this change occured? I don't think I will use a PIN anymore if I'm going to risk getting locked out.Windows 11, new computer. Was working on it yesterday without any problems.
