    why my windows 11 login has only the PIN option?


    When I tried to login to windows 11 laptop today, there's only the PIN option now.I've never used PIN before, and I've used password to login yesterday.Now, on the login screen, I've only the PIN field and the OK button; nothing else. I don't see the login-options button, or buttons.After a couple reboot of laptop, it asks for the bitlocker key!I've never set the laptop up to use bitlocker! How do I know what the bitlocker key is!As said above, tried a couple time to reboot into safe mode; but couldn't find the start in safe mode option.

    :)

    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]

    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
