    Win 8.1. I used a Pin to log in to my PC but now its asking for a Password, Cant log in...


    Hi, Can some help please?When I configured my PCLaptop on setup I decided to use the option to enter a PIN to log into my profile.The power went off due to loadshedding so I closed my screen to set it to sleep. Once I switched it back on again it asked me to enter a Password instead of the PIN. The login does not accept my current password. What am I to do to gain acces to my Profile.I am running Win 8.1.Thanks in advance.

    :)
