    Windows 10. The MS PIN is no longer recognized and does not show the admin account. How to recover the account and data?The only account available is the GUEST, in which all of the data is available. MS tends to forgot the pin or does not recognize. Generally if i reboot, it's somehow re-recognized and OK. The simple reboot does not work. How to prevent this in the future, or is there a better solution? eliminate the pin/pw for the admin account? Since guest account seems unaffected by this issue

    :)

    Forgot Admin Password and Pin, usually use fingerprint but now requires pin!

    I usually use my fingerprint to log into the admin account which I do so rarely. I have a few other non-admin accounts on the laptop.

    When I tried to log into the admin account today with the fingerprint it asks for my pin as well?! This seems to be an issue with some new update. So now I cannot access the admin account since I do not know the pin or password (although the fingerprint
    is recognized and requires an extra pin to be approved)

    This is entirely retarded, do I no longer have admin access for Windows 10 and I DO NOT WANT TO WIPE OUT MY COMPUTER TO RESTORE ADMIN ACCESS BEFORE ANYONE SUGGESTS THAT.

    Pin no longer recognized after this morning's update

    Hi,

    To better assist you with your concern on your PIN not being recognized, may we know the following information:

    • Which PIN are your referring to? Is it for your PC or for the Windows login?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?
    • What is the exact error message? A screenshot will help.

    We'll wait for your reply.

    Issue Changing Admin Name in Windows 10

    I am trying to change my Admin name from a deleted Outlook email account that was hacked, to my new email account. MS no longer recognizes the deleted account and I cannot access "Local User and Group" settings to change the Amin name. Any suggestions on how to change the Admin name bypassing these two routes in Windows 10?
