    Hello there!I have a laptop that hasn't been used for 6 months. Back then it forced me to set a PIN number after an update, but I can't remember the PIN. I do know the microsoft account password but not the PIN. As you can see in the images, the screen only shows the space to type in the PIN, there's no option like "I forgot my PIN" or to sign in with other sign in options. I have tried booting in safe mode with and without network but it takes me to the same screen. I tried rolling back updates both feature and quality in the recovery mode but it tells me it can't or it failed. I tried re

    Missing Pin Option in Sign-In Options Menu

    The 'I forgot my PIN' option allows me to change my PIN, but the PIN change option is still missing in my Sign-In options. Trying the steps in the link provided doesn't cause this option to appear. Is it a bug in my OS?
