    I am running windows 10 and gone through the support threads and cannot get it to work. How can this still be an issue as first post on this was in 2020?It does not work to click on setting up a new pin. Microsoft needs to step up and resolve this issue now. I wish support from a Microsoft employeed support person human being, not AI.Thanks

    :)

    Since you have a Microsoft account, you should see this instead
    Microsoft account sign-in options

    If this doesn't work, there are other procedures available to consider.
    --- Some of them include registry changes.
    --- Are you familiar with working in the registry?

    BTW, have you saved your data along with a system image backup ready?

  3. Problem login in with windows 10 PIN

    My computer went with no battery and turned off.

    After that I couldn´t login any more.

    It says "Somtehing happened and your PIN isn´t available. Click to set up PIN again"

    Below that there a Set up my PIN but it is doing nothing when I click on it.

    There is no way I can acces to the safe mode either.

    I´m using a dell laptop Inspiron 13. 7000 series. Windows 10.

    If someone has an answer to that would be very helpful.

    Thank you!
